If there was just one weird character, I would say it was an indication that hardware rejected a write to LCR and then software wrote the lower 8 bits of the baud into DLL which happens to live at the same address offset as RBR. However, there are a bunch of them here so it is less clear. It would be really helpful to get any extra information that you can about the Synopsys IP in your SoC. If it configured with UART_ADD_ENCODED_PARAMS = 1, there should be a UART configuration ID register at offset 0xF4. Could you try reading that back? This register has information about the FIFO size and a few more things. Also, I am curious what LCR value the hardware reports when the driver fails update it. Perhaps you can amend the error message to include p->serial_in(p, UART_LCR) too? -Tim -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-serial" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
