[U-Boot] Blackfin: UART on SPORT

[U-Boot] Blackfin: UART on SPORT

[Andreas Pretzsch]

In Linux, there is support for a UART on a SPORT, see 
linux-2.6.x/drivers/serial/bfin_sport_uart.[ch].
It can also be used as console.

In U-Boot, I cannot find similar code, therefore I'd like to ask if 
anybody ported/implemented this for U-Boot already ?

If not, is there any objection not to port this code to U-Boot, given 
that someone (which might be me) has some spare time for this ?


Thanks in advance,
  A. Pretzsch

we havent had any requests for this before which is why we havent done it.  
ive opened a tracker item for it here:
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/tracker/5552

this means we'll get to it at some point, but right now we dont have a 
schedule for it.  so if someone (you?) posted a patch, we'd certainly 
review/look into merging it.
