This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
serial: mvebu-uart: fix tx lost characters at power off
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.

Commit c685af1108d7 ("serial: mvebu-uart: fix tx lost characters") fixed tx
lost characters at low baud rates but started causing tx lost characters
when kernel is going to power off or reboot.
TX_EMP tells us when transmit queue is empty therefore all characters were
transmitted. TX_RDY tells us when CPU can send a new character.
Therefore we need to use different check prior transmitting new character
and different check after all characters were sent.
This patch splits polling code into two functions: wait_for_xmitr() which
waits for TX_RDY and wait_for_xmite() which waits for TX_EMP.
When rebooting A3720 platform without this patch on UART is print only:
[ 42.699�
And with this patch on UART is full output:
[ 39.530216] reboot: Restarting system
