Hello, I wrote:
Here is a serial driver patch for the PMC-Sierra MSP71xx device.
There are three different fixes: 1. Fix for THRE errata 2. Fix for Busy Detect on LCR write 3. Workaround for interrupt/data concurrency issue
The first fix is handled cleanly using a UART_BUG_* flag.
Hm, I wouldn't call it clean...
Relative to the other two. Any recommended improvements on this one?
I already told: runtime check.
BTW, I've just came accross 2 patches in the -mm tree related to the transmitter bug:
