Subject: RE: [PATCH] [POWERPC] Xilinx: add compatibility for 'simple-bus'.
Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2008 09:16:49 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080606161932.0650C1500054@mail96-sin.bigfish.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <fa686aa40806060829h52c5d27fvcec8c02c2eee3c7@mail.gmail.com>


legacy_serial identifies a valid ns16550 on a simple-bus, but the
legacy_serial driver doesn't understand the shift and offset flags
necessary to get it to work, which results in no console.

I think the easiest solution is to change the Kconfig so that
PPC_UDBG_16550 is only selected based on !XILINX_VIRTEX.  I've done this
in my tree, but I've been swamped with other things at the moment, so I
haven't verified it.

Or is legacy_serial just legacy at this point and can go away entirely?
I got the impression from some of the earlier discussion that it wasn't
preferred, at least....
