Subject: [PATCH] PPC4xx UART0 (8250) problem
Date: Fri, 06 Apr 2007 18:11:37 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <46166329.3060508@faust.net.ua> (raw)
On PPC4xx embedded we often have UART0 on IRQ0 but 8250 UART driver uses
IRQ0 as "no irq" hack.
It's suggested that platforms with UART on IRQ0 will redefine
is_real_interrupt(irq) macro but 8250 code anyway overrides that.
As the result, serial line on UART0 works on polling-way and we have
character loss on high baud rates.
In patch I've added check if UART0 is on IRQ0, if so we define
is_real_interrupt macro to be 1 (true).
Also, check if is_real_interrupt macro is already defined added to 8250
UART driver.
