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.quoted
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, greg k-h
