This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled serial: stm32: prevent TDR register overwrite when sending x_char 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. >From d3d079bde07e1b7deaeb57506dc0b86010121d17 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Valentin Caron <valentin.caron@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2022 17:44:40 +0100 Subject: serial: stm32: prevent TDR register overwrite when sending x_char When sending x_char in stm32_usart_transmit_chars(), driver can overwrite the value of TDR register by the value of x_char. If this happens, the previous value that was present in TDR register will not be sent through uart. This code checks if the previous value in TDR register is sent before writing the x_char value into register.
