[PATCH] Late console

[PATCH] Late console

[Rodolfo Giometti]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 491 bytes --]

Hello,

due my job on sleep I need the serial console till sleep time so let
me propose this patch that disables serial port suspend if a console
is running on it and the kernel has CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL flag on.

Ciao,

Rodolfo

Yes, you are right, but before sending the patch there I'd like to
know what do you think about.
