Four SPCR patches were merged upstream into 4.9, but one was reverted by a subsequent commit (due to a trivial merge conflict with a later, unrelated patch). A fixed up version of the missing patch is queued up for 4.10 in tty-next. Carry it to make sure users see serial console output on ACPI systems. Otherwise manually setting console=ttyAMAn would be required. --- arm64-ACPI-parse-SPCR-table.patch | 101 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ kernel.spec | 6 +++ 2 files changed, 107 insertions(+) create mode 100644 arm64-ACPI-parse-SPCR-table.patch [Sending as new message, this time including the fedora-kernel list.] diff --git a/arm64-ACPI-parse-SPCR-table.patch b/arm64-ACPI-parse-SPCR-table.patch new file mode 100644 index 0000000..ad85b02 --- /dev/null +++ b/arm64-ACPI-parse-SPCR-table.patch @@ -0,0 +1,101 @@ +From 10879ae5f12e9cab3c4e8e9504c1aaa8a033bde7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 +From: Aleksey Makarov <aleksey.makarov@xxxxxxxxxx> +Date: Tue, 4 Oct 2016 10:15:32 +0300 +Subject: serial: pl011: add console matching function + +This patch adds function pl011_console_match() that implements +method match of struct console.
