383d26
When booting Linux with an SBSA UART, e.g. when booting mach-virt
383d26
with ACPI, if the user types on the console during boot, then when
383d26
the login prompt appears she won't be able to log in. This is
383d26
because during boot the SBSA UART needs to be reset, but the SBSA
383d26
specification doesn't provide registers to enable/disable the FIFOs.
383d26
This patch observes a couple registers the SBSA UART does write to
383d26
in order to attempt to guess when a reset is needed, and then do it.
383d26
We risk losing some characters from the FIFO if the guess is wrong,
383d26
but the risk of that should be quite low.
