This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    tty: serial: OMAP: ensure FIFO levels are set correctly in non-DMA

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.

If it's not too late, I was wondering if you could drop this patch and the 
subsequent one ("tty: serial: OMAP: transmit FIFO threshold interrupts 
don't wake the"), in favor of the second version of this series that was 
just posted at

   http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=132754676814391&w=2

If it is too late, we'll deal with it in 3.4.

What is wrong with the patches that I applied?

A new workaround is used that reduces the number of interrupts to normal.  
The commit messages are improved since we have a better idea of what was 
wrong.  There is also a new patch (patch 3) for a power management 
regression in the driver.
 

How about a fix-up patch on top of what I have applied instead of whole 
new ones?

That's fine, if that's your preference.  It will be several patches, 
though.  And about 75% of the previous series would be reverted, since a 
different workaround would be used.

Let me know if that is indeed what you'd like.
