I've noticed that it causes a regression on my test system (ARM 32bit Samsung Exynos 4412-based Trats2 board). The messages are printed correctly on the serial console during boot, but then when I run 'dmesg' command, the log is truncated. Here is are the last lines of the dmesg log after this patch: [ 6.649018] Waiting 2 sec before mounting root device... [ 6.766423] dwc2 12480000.hsotg: new device is high-speed [ 6.845290] dwc2 12480000.hsotg: new device is high-speed [ 6.914217] dwc2 12480000.hsotg: new address 51 [ 8.710351] RAMDISK: squashfs filesystem found at block 0 The corresponding dmesg lines before applying this patch: [ 8.864320] RAMDISK: squashfs filesystem found at block 0 [ 8.868410] RAMDISK: Loading 37692KiB [1 disk] into ram disk... / [ 9.071670] / [ 9.262498] / [ 9.540711] / [ 9.818031] done.
