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 an updated version will be merged ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: serial: set DTR in uart for kernel serial console From: Yinghai Lu <Yinghai.Lu@xxxxxxx> Some RS-232 devices require DTR to be asserted before they can be used. DTR is normally asserted in uart_startup() when the port is opened. But we don't actually open serial console ports, so assert DTR when the port is added. BTW: earlyprintk and early_uart are hard coded to set DTR/RTS.
