Hi,
I haven't tracked down why, but e74d098c66543d0731de62eb747ccd5b636a6f4c
(hvc_console: Fix race between hvc_close and hvc_remove) is causing my PowerPC
box to hang during boot, right when init starts.

Hi,
Commit bdb498c20040 (TTY: hvc_console, add tty install) breaks HVC on
ppc64. It looks a bit like a refcounting issue and we end up releasing
the tty. I haven't had a change to look closer yet.

Adding Paulus who is looking into it. So far what we observe is that
something (possibly a close() on a hvc tty by userspace) causes the port
to be destroyed permanently. Typically hits with fedora 17.
Cheers,
Ben.
