[patch] serial: fix UART_BUG_TXEN test

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



  Hi,

There is a bug in the UART_BUG_TXEN test: It gives false positives in
case the UART_IER_THRI bit is set.  Fixed by explicitly clearing the
UART_IER register first.

It may trigger with an active serial console as serial console writes
set the UART_IER_THRI bit.

cheers,

  Gerd
