We are currently finding the omap serial driver awefully slow at handling serial traffic with ti's 3.12.y kernel branch, while the 3.8.y was seemingly a bit better (on the dra7xx eval board). Haven't had time to really investigate that yet though. > The whole PM-Runtime part is currently missing. > It has been only tested as console UART. > The tty name is ttyS based instead of ttyO.

But of course I am working on a new system that isn't released yet so changing things is a complete non issue for me. :) I should give this driver a try and see how it compares so far. -- Len Sorensen -- 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
