It sounds like something needs to be fixed for am33xx as omap3 and omap4 won't hang with earlyprintk. Almost certainly mach-omap2/serial.c should not be needed at all for am33xx, and the bug is somewhere else. > > > I wonder if this is because the timeouts get now initialized to 0 instead > > > of -1 for the serial driver? > > > > > > > You meant initialized to -1, right? There's an additional check for timeout being 0. Unless i > > am missing something DT-boot will start off with timeout set to 0 and then get forced to -1.
