This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled MIPS: AR7: Ensure that serial ports are properly set up to the 4.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: mips-ar7-ensure-that-serial-ports-are-properly-set-up.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From b084116f8587b222a2c5ef6dcd846f40f24b9420 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oswald Buddenhagen <oswald.buddenhagen@xxxxxx> Date: Sun, 29 Oct 2017 16:27:20 +0100 Subject: MIPS: AR7: Ensure that serial ports are properly set up From: Oswald Buddenhagen <oswald.buddenhagen@xxxxxx> commit b084116f8587b222a2c5ef6dcd846f40f24b9420 upstream. Without UPF_FIXED_TYPE, the data from the PORT_AR7 uart_config entry is never copied, resulting in a dead port.
