Which probably has something to do with the of_serial driver being used now. Just an FYI.If you want to use of_serial together with serial console, you need to make sure that the detection logic in arch/powerpc/kernel/legacy_serial.c finds the port. It currently finds the serial port on axon, but that requires that the bus it's on is of type "opb" and the device itself is listed as "stdout" and has type "serial" and is compatible with "ns16750" (note: the others look for "ns16550" here).
Err.. no. On my system legacy_serial doesn't touch the ports, but I'm getting console output via of_serial just fine. The console is initialized rather later than would be ideal, but it works. I know that BenH has expressed the strong preference that legacy_serial should be reverted to only handling legacy ISA ports, not SoC and other hardwired ports. -- David Gibson | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you.
