Re: MPC8xx + serial console on SCC

Hi Geoff,

in message [off-list ref] you wrote:

Is anyone here working on an 8xx based board and using an SCC for serial
console?

Yes, we've tested this configuration once when we were re-working the
UART driver for hardware-handshake support, configurable buffer sizes
etc.

We tested all 6 channels ( 2 x SMC, 4 x SCC) on a IP860 board.

Comments?

See the version of the UART driver in the kernel source tree  on  our
FTP  server; I've sent patches against 2_4_devel to Tom Rini, waiting
for a decision if these patches will make it into the official source
tree...

Just as an FYI to everyone, these look OK to me, and I'll try and put
them in the 2_4_devel tree, once I get the current stuff that's there
and seemingly stable out into the 2_4 tree.
