Our SoC's have always had a NS16650A UART core and older SoC's would have a compatible string of: 'compatible = ""ns16550a"' and use the 8250_of driver. Our newer SoC's have added enhancements to the base core to add support for DMA and accurate high speed baud rates and use this newer 8250_bcm7271 driver. The Device Tree node for our enhanced UARTs has a compatible string of: 'compatible = "brcm,bcm7271-uart", "ns16550a"''. With both drivers running and the link order setup so that the 8250_bcm7217 driver is initialized before the 8250_of driver, we should bind the 8250_bcm7271 driver to the enhanced UART, or for upstream kernels that don't have the 8250_bcm7271 driver, we bind to the 8250_of driver. The problem is that when both the 8250_of and 8250_bcm7271 drivers were running, occasionally the 8250_of driver would be bound to the enhanced UART instead of the 8250_bcm7271 driver. This was happening because we use SCMI based clocks which come up late in initialization and cause probe DEFER's when the two drivers get their clocks. Occasionally the SCMI clock would become ready between the 8250_bcm7271 probe and the 8250_of probe and the 8250_of driver would be bound. To fix this we decided to config only our 8250_bcm7271 driver and added "ns16665a0" to the compatible string so the driver would work on our older system. This commit has of_platform_serial_probe() check specifically for the "brcm,bcm7271-uart" and whether its companion driver is enabled. If it is the case, and the clock provider is not ready, we want to make sure that when the 8250_bcm7271.c driver returns EPROBE_DEFER, we are not getting the UART registered via 8250_of.c.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
