Err.. no. On my system legacy_serial doesn't touch the ports, but I'm getting console output via of_serial just fine. The console is initialized rather later than would be ideal, but it works. I know that BenH has expressed the strong preference that legacy_serial should be reverted to only handling legacy ISA ports, not SoC and other hardwired ports. -- David Gibson | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you.
