On v3.3-rc1, the OMAP serial console doesn't behave properly when
power management is enabled (the default with omap2plus_defconfig).
This seems to be due to a combination of a silicon bug in the UART IP
block and broken FIFO settings in the OMAP serial driver.

This patch series attempts to work around these problems.  The workarounds
are not perfect; see the patch descriptions for more details.

Tested on OMAP3530 BeagleBoard.  This series will need to be tested on
OMAP2 and OMAP4 before it is ready to merge.

Who is going to do that testing?  When?  Why isn't it done already?

I guess this means I can ignore them for now, right?
