For the software timeout case, the timeout and the trigger levels are set in the interrupt handler. Setting the threshold to 1 will trigger that when the next byte of data comes in, and it is easier than duplicating the logic here. (There actually is a bug here, in that the threshold should only be reset to 1 for software timeout IPs (SCIFA and SCIFB), but that is not what breaks SCIFA, of course.) > I.e.

This is intended to work that way. For software timeout devices (SCIFA and SCIFB), the trigger level is not set in hardware unless an rx_fifo_timeout > 0 is set as well. The bug that breaks the SCIFA console is in sci_reset(), which sets a hardware threshold > 1 for devices for software timeout devices even though the rx_fifo_timeout is 0. Something like this should fix it: --- a/drivers/tty/serial/sh-sci.c +++ b/drivers/tty/serial/sh-sci.c @@ -2179,7 +2179,11 @@ static void sci_reset(struct uart_port *port) setup_timer(&s->rx_fifo_timer, rx_fifo_timer_fn, (unsigned long)s); } else { - scif_set_rtrg(port, s->rx_trigger); + if (port->type == PORT_SCIFA || + port->type == PORT_SCIFB) + scif_set_rtrg(port, 1); + else + scif_set_rtrg(port, s->rx_trigger); } } } Could you try and check if that works for you?
