The patch titled serial: set DTR in uart for kernel serial console has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was serial-set-dtr-in-uart-for-kernel-serial-console.patch This patch was dropped because it was nacked ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: serial: set DTR in uart for kernel serial console From: Yinghai Lu <Yinghai.Lu@xxxxxxx> Some UARTs on other side need host uart DTR is set, otherwise will not receive char from the host that kernel is runing during kernel boot stage. BTW: earlyprintk and early_uart are hard coded to set DTR/RTS.
