The problem is that ns8250_bus_probe() accesses a field from the
ns8250_softc, which embeds the generic UART softc, but the ns8250_softc
hasn't yet been allocated because we're still probing.
This is a regression from commit 0aefb0a63c. This fixed a problem
where one of the upper four IER bits, which are usually reserved, needs
to be set in order to get RX interrupts before the RX FIFO is full. At
the same time, we avoid clearing those reserved bits (see commit
58957d8717, though other UART drivers I looked at do not bother with
this).
So, copy what ns8250_init() does to disable interrupts, since we don't
know what the "right" mask is at this point.

DBG2 ACPI table description [1] specifies three subtypes
related to 16550 UART:
0x0 - 16550 compatible
0x1 - 16550 subset
0x12 - 16550 compatible with parameters defined in Generic Address Structure (GAS)
It turned out however, that the Windows OS treats 0x0 subtype as
legacy x86 UART with 8-bit access. ARM SoCs can use types 0x1 (16550 with
fixed mmio32 access) or 0x12 (16550 with fully respected GAS contents).
Switch Marvell SoCs ACPI UART subtype to 0x1 - thanks to that the same firmware
can run properly with UART output in FreeBSD, Windows 10, Linux and ESXI
hypervisor. Tests showed the older firmware versions that use 0x0
UART subtype in SPCR table continue to display output properly.

It has been observed that some systems are often unable to resume from
ddb after entering with debug.kdb.enter=1. Checking the status further
shows the terminal is blocked waiting in tty_drain(), but it never makes
progress in clearing the output queue, because sc->sc_txbusy is high.
I noticed that when entering polling mode for the debugger, IER_TXRDY is
set in the failure case. Since this bit is never tracked by the softc,
it will not be restored by ns8250_bus_ungrab(). This creates a race in
which a TX interrupt can be lost, creating the hang described above.
Ensuring that this bit is restored is enough to prevent this, and resume
from ddb as expected.
The solution is to track this bit in the sc->ier field, for the same
lifetime that TX interrupts are enabled.

Shifting right by 1 is not the same as dividing by 2 for signed
values. In particular, dividing a signed value by 2 gives the integer
ceiling of the (e.g. -5 / 2 == -2) whereas shifting right by 1 always
gives the floor (-5 >> 1 == -3).
An embedded board with a 25 Mhz base clock results in an error of
-30.5% when used with a baud rate of 115200. Using division, this
truncates to -30% and is permitted. Using the shift, this fails and
is rejected causing TIOCSETA requests to fail with EINVAL and breaking
getty(8).
Using division gives the same error range for both over and under baud
rates and also makes the code match the behavior documented in the
existing comment about supporting boards with 25 Mhz clocks.

option to invert the polarity in software. Also add an option to capture
very narrow pulses by using the hardware's MSR delta-bit capability of
latching line state changes.
This effectively reverts the mistake I made in r286595 which was based on
empirical measurements made on hardware using TTL-level signaling, in which
the logic levels are inverted from RS-232. Thus, this re-syncs the polarity
with the requirements of RFC 2783, which is writen in terms of RS-232
signaling.
Narrow-pulse mode uses the ability of most ns8250 and similar chips to
provide a delta indication in the modem status register. The hardware is
able to notice and latch the change when the pulse width is shorter than
interrupt latency, which results in the signal no longer being asserted by
time the interrupt service code runs. When running in this mode we get
notified only that "a pulse happened" so the driver synthesizes both an
ASSERT and a CLEAR event (with the same timestamp for each). When the pulse
width is about equal to the interrupt latency the driver may intermittantly
see both edges of the pulse. To prevent generating spurious events, the
driver implements a half-second lockout period after generating an event
before it will generate another.

This is needed with the pl011 driver. Before this change it would default

there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

variations from normal 16x50 behaviour however is the the use of a normally
unused bit of IER to control RX timeout interrupts independently of the
generally used RXRDY bit. If this bit is not enabled, we only ever get
interrupts when the FIFO is full, never before. This is not very useful when
the UART is being used as a console.
In order to support this without causing potential problems on more "normal"
16x50 variants, this change introduces two hints for the uart device, ier_mask
and ier_rxbits. These can be used to override which bits get set and cleared
when we're enabling and disabling RX interrupts.

In both cases it works equally well to implement a fixed delay. More
importantly, it avoids calculating a delay that's roughly 1/10th the
time it takes to send/receive a character. The calculation is costly
and happens for every character sent or received, affecting low-level
console or debug port performance significantly. Secondly, when the
RCLK is not available or unreliable, the delays could disrupt normal
operation.
