I didn't go through and test them since Brian already tested the patches for the one UART driver I'd have access to anyway. As per my previous email, I don't see any need to solve all the world'd problems with this patch series, plus the keep_bootcon seems to be an experts / debugging type option and it seems sane if you need to take care in using it. So officially for the series (FWIW since I'm just an interested 3rd party): Reviewed-by: Douglas Anderson <dianders@xxxxxxxxxxxx> -Doug -- 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
