I'm fairly new to DT and I'm trying to boot it with pandaboard and
k3.3, however above hunk deletes omap serial initialization, which
causes a panic on boot, because pdata is NULL:
static void serial_omap_start_tx(struct uart_port *port)
{
...
if (pdata->set_noidle)
Perhaps because this change skips the following path:
omap_serial_init->omap_serial_board_init->omap_serial_init_port
Where pdata is built in omap_device_build.
I'm just trying to confirm that I'm not alone or doing some silly
thing before getting in depth with the code.
Yes, it is a known issue and the fix was unfortunately was not merged
during -rc phases but is fixed in 3.4 and should be fixed in 3.3 stable
branch as well. I received the notification from Greg KH 2 weeks ago
about the stable: Patch "tty: serial: OMAP: Fix oops due to NULL pdata
in DT boot" has been added to the 3.3-stable tree
You should just switch to 3.4-rc2 or get the patch if you are stuck to 3.3.
Regards,
Benoit
