 *
 * ark3116
 * - implements a driver for the arkmicro ark3116 chipset (vendor=0x6547,
 *   productid=0x0232) (used in a datacable called KQ-U8A)
 *
 * Supports full modem status lines, break, hardware flow control. Does not
 * support software flow control, since I do not know how to enable it in hw.
 *
 * This driver is a essentially new implementation. I initially dug
 * into the old ark3116.c driver and suddenly realized the ark3116 is
 * a 16450 with a USB interface glued to it. See comments at the
 * bottom of this file.

/*
 * The following describes what I learned from studying the old
 * ark3116.c driver, disassembling the windows driver, and some lucky
 * guesses. Since I do not have any datasheet or other
 * documentation, inaccuracies are almost guaranteed.
 *
 * Some specs for the ARK3116 can be found here:
 * http://web.archive.org/web/20060318000438/
 *   www.arkmicro.com/en/products/view.php?id=10
 * On that page, 2 GPIO pins are mentioned: I assume these are the
 * OUT1 and OUT2 pins of the UART, so I added support for those
 * through the MCR. Since the pins are not available on my hardware,
 * I could not verify this.
 * Also, it states there is "on-chip hardware flow control". I have
 * discovered how to enable that. Unfortunately, I do not know how to
 * enable XON/XOFF (software) flow control, which would need support
 * from the chip as well to work. Because of the wording on the web
 * page there is a real possibility the chip simply does not support
 * software flow control.
 *
 * I got my ark3116 as part of a mobile phone adapter cable. On the
 * PCB, the following numbered contacts are present:
 *
 *  1:- +5V
 *  2:o DTR
 *  3:i RX
 *  4:i DCD
 *  5:o RTS
 *  6:o TX
 *  7:i RI
 *  8:i DSR
 * 10:- 0V
 * 11:i CTS
 *
 * On my chip, all signals seem to be 3.3V, but 5V tolerant. But that
 * may be different for the one you have ;-).
 *
 * The windows driver limits the registers to 0-F, so I assume there
 * are actually 16 present on the device.
 *
 * On an UART interrupt, 4 bytes of data come in on the interrupt
 * endpoint. The bytes are 0xe8 IIR LSR MSR.
 *
 * The baudrate seems to be generated from the 12MHz crystal, using
 * 4-times subsampling. So quot=12e6/(4*baud). Also see description
 * of register E.
 *
 * Registers 0-7:
 * These seem to be the same as for a regular 16450. The FCR is set
 * to UART_FCR_DMA_SELECT (0x8), I guess to enable transfers between
 * the UART and the USB bridge/DMA engine.
 *
 * Register 8:
 * By trial and error, I found out that bit 0 enables hardware CTS,
 * stopping TX when CTS is +5V. Bit 1 does the same for RTS, making
 * RTS +5V when the 3116 cannot transfer the data to the USB bus
 * (verified by disabling the reading URB). Note that as far as I can
 * tell, the windows driver does NOT use this, so there might be some
 * hardware bug or something.
 *
 * According to a patch provided here
 * (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/26/56), the ARK3116 can also be used
 * as an IrDA dongle. Since I do not have such a thing, I could not
 * investigate that aspect. However, I can speculate ;-).
 *
 * - IrDA encodes data differently than RS232. Most likely, one of
 *   the bits in registers 9..E enables the IR ENDEC (encoder/decoder).
 * - Depending on the IR transceiver, the input and output need to be
 *   inverted, so there are probably bits for that as well.
 * - IrDA is half-duplex, so there should be a bit for selecting that.
 *
 * This still leaves at least two registers unaccounted for. Perhaps
 * The chip can do XON/XOFF or CRC in HW?
 *
 * Register 9:
 * Set to 0x00 for IrDA, when the baudrate is initialised.
 *
 * Register A:
 * Set to 0x01 for IrDA, at init.
 *
 * Register B:
 * Set to 0x01 for IrDA, 0x00 for RS232, at init.
 *
 * Register C:
 * Set to 00 for IrDA, at init.
 *
 * Register D:
 * Set to 0x41 for IrDA, at init.
 *
 * Register E:
 * Somekind of baudrate override. The windows driver seems to set
 * this to 0x00 for normal baudrates, 0x01 for 460800, 0x02 for 921600.
 * Since 460800 and 921600 cannot be obtained by dividing 3MHz by an integer,
 * it could be somekind of subdivisor thingy.
 * However,it does not seem to do anything: selecting 921600 (divisor 3,
 * reg E=2), still gets 1 MHz. I also checked if registers 9, C or F would
 * work, but they don't.
 *
 * Register F: unknown
