As for build issues, try to make a minimal working

runtime problems with the intermediate kernels.

Thank-you, that did help immensely.

Here's the 'git bisect' result...

Indeed, if I remove the UART_CAP_EFR flag from later kernel 
revisions there is no problem.

Greg,

What's to be done?

Sorry for the delay, I think Pavel's posted patch will solve 
this issue for you, right?

I've looked in the linux-serial archives for posts by Pavel for the last
month, but I don't see a patch.  Please tell me where I can find this patch.

Thanks,

Lee.
