Problem using UART3 on Logic Torpedo w/2.6.32

Problem using UART3 on Logic Torpedo w/2.6.32

[Peter Barada]

All,

I have a 2.6.32 kernel based on the L23.i3.3 kernel (2.6.32) from TI, 
and I've run into an interesting problem with UART3 (maps to /dev/ttyS1 
on the Torpedo board).

On the host I have it hooked up to /dev/ttyS1, so I turn on CTS/RTS and 
set the baudrate by:

host$ stty 115200 crtscts < /dev/ttyS1

And the same on the target:

OMAP-35x$ stty 115200 crtscts < /dev/ttyS1

To force the board to throttle the serial I slowed down the console to 
19200:

OMAP-35x$ stty 19200 < /dev/ttyS0

On the target console I capture the data from the host (and show it on 
the serial port):

OMAP-35x$ cat < /dev/ttyS1 | tee /tmp/x

and on the host send the data:

host$ dd if=/dev/urandom count=100 bs=1024 | hexdump -C > /tmp/x
host$ cat /tmp/x > /dev/ttyS1

I'd expect to see something like the following on the target:

Looking deeper:

However if I instead use UART2 and replicate the above steps, all is 
well.  I've looked at the serial signals and CTS/RTS are responding as 
expected.  I tried switching drivers from the 8250 to the OMAP_SERIAL, 
and the results look the same.

Any ideas what is happening?

Can be a problem in UART+ PM path
UART1,2 --> core domain
UART3 --> Per domain

I3.3 you might be missing some PM fixes added later
Can you check with I3.8 ? [If its feasible at your end]

Probably missing these solutions for per domain issues:

Some hints:
Uart commits to look out for between i3.3 and i3.8
