 * 声明:
 *    1. 目录脚本生成: 
 *        grep -v '^\s' I.MX6_UART_hacking.txt | grep '\.'
 *    2. 该文章是在vim中编辑,请尽量是用vim来阅读,这样就不会出现缩进不对齐的问题;
 *    3. 本人阅读源码使用了ctags,强烈建议您使用类似高效的工具进行内核源代码阅读;
 *    3. 文章中的(device)表示的是串口设备侧的代码跟踪部分;
 *    4. 文章中的(driver)表示的是串口驱动侧的代码跟踪部分;
 *    5. 内核中的有些宏写成了函数的形式,从使用者的角度来说,个人感觉称作宏也行,
 *        叫函数也行,不过本人强烈希望你理解宏与函数的区别;   :)
 *    6. device跟踪架构如下:
 *      .( arch/arm/mach-mx6/board-mx6q_sabresd.c )
 *      \ -- mx6_sabresd_board_init()

十三. Android下打开串口节点可能出现权限问题:
    1. 可能会收到: you do not hava read/write permission to the serial port;
    2. 也可能会收到: 打开串口失败,没有串口读/写权限;
    3. 这里目前提供的解决方法是:
        1. 在串口shell中输入: chmod 777 <你的设备节点>
            例如: chmod 777 /dev/ttymxc2
        2. 上面只是针对本次有效,重启板子都不行,如果想要一直有效,就在init.rc文件
            里添加设备节点的权限.
