[PATCH 2/2] Add generic serial MIDI driver using serial bus API

Daniel Kaehn kaehndan at gmail.com
Wed Apr 20 21:47:47 CEST 2022


Generic serial MIDI driver adding support for using serial devices
compatible with the serial bus as raw MIDI devices, allowing using
additional serial devices not compatible with the existing
serial-u16550 driver. Supports only setting standard serial baudrates on
the underlying serial device; however, the underlying serial device can
be configured so that a requested 38.4 kBaud is actually the standard MIDI
3.125 kBaud. Supports DeviceTree configuration.

One ugly portion in the code I wanted to point out, but didn't find a
'nice' way of solving. `snd_serial_generic_output_write` is called to
read from ALSA's output MIDI buffer and write to the serdev_device's
input buffer. While copying directly from the former to the later would
be desirable for performance, I assume violating the abstraction would
never be permissable. The current implementation creates an internal buffer of
an arbitrary size (currently 256) and copies there as an intermediate
step. Any advice on how to make this better is appreciated.
