The AUX/mini-UART in the BCM2835 family of procesors is a cut-down 8250 clone. In particular it is lacking support for the following features: CSTOPB PARENB PARODD CMSPAR CS5 CS6 Add a new capability (UART_CAP_MINI) that exposes the restrictions to the user of the termios API by turning off the unsupported features in the request. N.B. It is almost possible to automatically discover the missing features by reading back the LCR register, but the CSIZE bits don't cooperate (contrary to the documentation, both bits are significant, but CS5 and CS6 are mapped to CS7) and the code is much longer.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
