FWIW, this series does not regress on Intel Merrifield (SPI case), Tested-by: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> P.S. However it might need an additional tests for the DW UART based platforms. Cc'ed to Hans just in case (it might that he can add this to his repo for testing on Bay Trail and Cherry Trail that may have use of DW UART for BT operations). -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko
