James, I tested tested the code you proposed (cleaned up to avoid magic numbers) on my hardware and it works fine. diff --git a/drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_dw.c b/drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_dw.c index 4658e3e..5f096c7 100644 --- a/drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_dw.c +++ b/drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_dw.c @@ -96,7 +96,8 @@ static void dw8250_serial_out(struct uart_port *p, int offset, int value) if (offset == UART_LCR) { int tries = 1000; while (tries--) { - if (value == p->serial_in(p, UART_LCR)) + unsigned int lcr = p->serial_in(p, UART_LCR); + if ((value & ~UART_LCR_SPAR) == (lcr & ~UART_LCR_SPAR)) return; dw8250_force_idle(p); writeb(value, p->membase + (UART_LCR << p->regshift)); @@ -132,7 +133,8 @@ static void dw8250_serial_out32(struct uart_port *p, int offset, int value) if (offset == UART_LCR) { int tries = 1000; while (tries--) { - if (value == p->serial_in(p, UART_LCR)) + unsigned int lcr = p->serial_in(p, UART_LCR); + if ((value & ~UART_LCR_SPAR) == (lcr & ~UART_LCR_SPAR)) return; dw8250_force_idle(p); writel(value, p->membase + (UART_LCR << p->regshift)); Would you mind posting this for proper review so we can get the fix in?
