If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Mark commit 47ac76662ca9c5852fd353093f19de3ae85f2e66 upstream. 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.
