(It's less messing about to do it here in the interrupt routine though.) > +static void altera_uart_console_putc(struct console *co, const char c) > +{ > + struct uart_port *port = &(altera_uart_ports + co->index)->port; > + int i; > + > + for (i = 0; i < 0x10000; i++) { > + if (readl(port->membase + ALTERA_UART_STATUS_REG) & > + ALTERA_UART_STATUS_TRDY_MSK) > + break; > + } > + writel(c, port->membase + ALTERA_UART_TXDATA_REG); > + for (i = 0; i < 0x10000; i++) { > + if (readl(port->membase + ALTERA_UART_STATUS_REG) & > + ALTERA_UART_STATUS_TRDY_MSK) > + break; > + } > +} I'd suggest calling udelay(1) in each iteration of the loop. Perhaps the second loop is overkill. I was also going to suggest using the port->lock spin lock, but I'm not sure about the policy regarding that for console output (the 8250 driver console output doesn't use the spin lock for example). -- -=( Ian Abbott @ MEV Ltd.
