Subject: patch "serial: 8250: Enable 16550A variants by default on non-x86" added to tty-next
Date: Thu, 28 May 2020 09:19:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1590650348184173@kroah.com> (raw)
This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
serial: 8250: Enable 16550A variants by default on non-x86
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: serial: 8250: Enable 16550A variants by default on non-x86
Some embedded devices still use these serial ports; make sure they're
still enabled by default on architectures more likely to have them, to
avoid rendering someone's console unavailable.

The 8250 driver can probe for many variants of the venerable 16550A
serial port. Doing so takes additional time at boot.
