Re: [PATCH] serial: sh-sci: disable DMA for uart_console

Hi George,

I am able to reproduce the SCIF2 console freeze described in the
referenced patchwork link using M3-ES1.1-Salvator-XS and recent
v5.1-9573-gb970afcfcabd kernel.

I confirm the behavior is healed with this patch. Thanks!
Hope to see it accepted soon, since it fixes a super annoying
console breakage every fourth boot or so on lots of R-Car3 targets.
