Subject: [PATCH] tty: pl011: fix earlycon work-around for QDF2400 erratum 44

From: [email-masked] (Timur Tabi)
Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2017 17:05:02 -0500

The work-around for the Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies QDF2400
erratum 44 sets the "qdf2400_e44_present" global variable if the
work-around is needed.  However, this check does not happen until after
earlycon is initialized, which means the work-around is not
used, and the console hangs as soon as it displays one character.

Fixes: d8a4995bcea1 ("tty: pl011: Work around QDF2400 E44 stuck BUSY bit")
