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.
Ok, I've just reverted both of these patches for now, please send new
ones when you have them.

thanks,
