Apparently the break bit in the SR register is not "sticky" so it doesn't always stay set when the handle_rx_dm() function runs and a break has entered the fifo. I used your debug patches to confirm this (I never see the break status bit when the fifo has multiple characters in it). It sounds like this bit can't really be used reliably. The recommendation is to use either the break start or break stop interrupt to detect when a break has occurred and then search the fifo for the break character (an all zero character). If there are two such characters then we can't be certain when the break was, but the chances of this seem really slim considering that the stale timeout probably triggers first before a human can type a character after the break. On 1.4 hardware we can change the mode to be single character and then we can reliably detect the break character because only one character enters the fifo and the higher bits of the fifo can be used to detect if it is a break or not. Making that change is probably not that hard, I believe we can reuse all the handle_rx_dm logic and force single character mode on consoles, but 1.3 hardware doesn't benefit from this change. I'll try to get something together soon that tries to make this all work as best as it can. -- Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc. is a member of Code Aurora Forum, hosted by The Linux Foundation -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arm-msm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
