Assuming that this is indeed the problem, it's possible that another bug
in the pl011 driver is wrongly clearing this flag.  Sadly I don't have
time to look at the code again just now ...:(

Perhaps, but !CREAD is definitely broken without this patch. So if the driver really is clearing CREAD somewhere else, then that's where the real bug is.


Could be interesting to stick some BUG_ON(!CREAD) in the driver to
try and track down where that's coming from.

CREAD is disabled by default when opening the console. You need to explicitly set it in the termios structure. I can easily believe that Huang's rootfs is just forgetting to set that bit because for the last five years, it didn't matter.

Huang,

In the beginning of pl011_set_termios() and sbsa_uart_set_termios(), please add this code:

	BUG_ON(!(termios->c_cflag & CREAD));
