Re: [PATCH] sh-sci: Extend sh-sci driver with early console V2

[Shin-ichiro KAWASAKI <kawasaki@juno.dti.ne.jp>]

Hi, Magnus-san, and Alex-san,

Thank you very much for your guides.
Setting "CONFIG_SERIAL_SH_SCI_NR_UARTS=2" solved my problem fully.
I find no qemu crash, and happy to see login prompt again.

I tried out these two option with real R2D+ boards and recent sh-2.6 git.
   CONFIG_SERIAL_SH_SCI_NR_UARTS=1  ... no serial output
   CONFIG_SERIAL_SH_SCI_NR_UARTS=2  ... kernel boot log printed in serial output

I hope the patch applied soon :)

Best Regards,
Shin-ichiro KAWASAKI
