This is an update to a previous RFC v3 [1], to fix a problem observed by
the qemu community that causes serial input to hang when booting a
simulated system with data already queued in the UART FIFO [2].
RFC v3 did not solve the problem by itself, due to the problem being
triggered again in pl011_enable_interrupts() after working around it
in pl011_hwinit(). See the updated commit message in the patch for
details.
This patch is intended to supersede the previous RFCs, so please test
_without_ RFC v2 (or 3) applied.
If you can, please:
a) Check that you can still reproduce the bug on mainline without this
patch.
b) Check whether this patch fixes the problem.
Cheers
