Hi,

I found where the problem was. We have uart16550a compatible device not only uart16550.
I will send patch for extension of compatible list.

Regards,
Michal

Hi Ben and David,

I have found one problem with input overrun. My problem is of course on Microblaze with uart16550.

Here is the behavior - I just pressed left arrow.

I bisected it and yours Subject patch caused my problems. It is really old patch and I was surprised how old it is.


Here is your diff
diff --git a/drivers/serial/of_serial.c b/drivers/serial/of_serial.c

If I trace port->type I am getting 3. (drivers/serial/8250.c:3089 serial8250_register_port func 3118 - serial8250_register_port)
Grant: Could you please print that value on ppc?

Can you give me any hints what could be wrong? I will continue on it tomorrow.

Thanks,
Michal
