The patch titled serial: make sure UART is powered up when dumping MCTRL status has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was make-sure-uart-is-powered-up-when-dumping-mctrl-status.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: serial: make sure UART is powered up when dumping MCTRL status From: "George G. Davis" <gdavis@xxxxxxxxxx> Since serial devices are powered down when not in use and some of those devices cannot be accessed when powered down, we need to enable power around calls to get_mcrtl() when dumping port state via uart_line_info(). This resolves hangs observed on some machines while reading serial device registers when a port is powered off. Signed-off-by: George G.
