Subject: patch "tty: serial: 8250: Revert NXP SC16C2552 workaround" added to tty-next
Date: Mon, 13 Aug 2018 07:50:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <153413940220290@kroah.com> (raw)


This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    tty: serial: 8250: Revert NXP SC16C2552 workaround

to my tty git tree which can be found at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
in the tty-next branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will also be merged in the next major kernel release
during the merge window.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: tty: serial: 8250: Revert NXP SC16C2552 workaround

Revert commit ecb988a3b7985913d1f0112f66667cdd15e40711: tty: serial:
8250: 8250_core: NXP SC16C2552 workaround

The above commit causes userland application to no longer write
correctly its first write to a dumb terminal connected to /dev/ttyS0.
This commit seems to be the culprit. It's as though the TX FIFO is being
reset during that write. What should be displayed is:

PSW 80000000 INST 00000000                           HALT
//

What is displayed is some variation of:

T 00000000           HAL//

Reverting this commit via this patch fixes my problem.
