you've got a point there. My bad, should've kept series history on all
revisions.

Well, fair enough. Maybe I wasn't too verbose, but here's what I did on
panda:

. check that console still works
. check that IRQs increase as I type on console
. check that pm_runtime suspend callback is called after 1 second of
	inactivity (with printk)
. check that device resumes properly when I type on console again
. enable UART wakeup (through sysfs) and 'echo mem > /sys/power/state'
	then check that I can wakeup from suspend and check that all
	powerdomains actually reached low power state

Yeah, initially I wasn't testing PM because UART wakeup was known to be
broken, but then I decided to test and sent it as a reply to cover
letter v2, then I forgot to keep the history on v3 and v4. My bad.

Fair enough. What's missing for omap4 panda ? I could reach suspend2ram
with echo mem > /sys/power/state and wakeup from it.

Though not on a cover letter, this is how I was testing from v2 and
onwards:

Shubhro's got his Tested-by tag. I believe he tested on beagleboard and
omap4sdp. Shubhro, can you confirm which platforms you tested the UART
patches ? cheers

I'll check it out and make sure to delete any such unused fields. Thanks

fair enough.

What about v3.6-rc4 + the patch which added the warning ? :-)

Thankfully...

I'm the one who owes you an apology for misunderstanding your bug
report. I'm sorry.
