Subject: powerpc: udbg based backend for hvc_console
Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2008 14:54:34 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081024035434.GF4267@yookeroo.seuss> (raw)
This patch adds a new backend for the hvc console based on the
low-level udbg callbacks. This effectively implements a working
runtime console in terms of the simple udbg primitives. This is kind
of a hack - since udbg isn't something you really want to be using
routinely - but it's really useful during bringup.
This can be used to quickly implement a userspace usable console while
you're working on a proper driver for whatever console I/O device the
hardware has. Or, it can be used to avoid writing a full blown
tty/console driver entirely for quick-and-dirty I/O hardware that will
later be replaced by something else.
