This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
tty/serial: atmel: fix TX path in atmel_console_write()
to my tty git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
in the tty-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: tty/serial: atmel: fix TX path in atmel_console_write()
A side effect of 89d8232411a8 ("tty/serial: atmel_serial: BUG: stop DMA
from transmitting in stop_tx") is that the console can be called with
TX path disabled. Then the system would hang trying to push charecters
out in atmel_console_putchar().
