[PATCH 06/26] serial: Fix send_xchar() handlers
From: Peter Hurley
Date: Tue Sep 02 2014 - 17:42:45 EST
START_CHAR() & STOP_CHAR() can be disabled if set to '\0'
(__DISABLED_CHAR). UART drivers which define a send_xchar()
handler must not transmit __DISABLED_CHAR.
Document requirement.
Affected drivers:
sunsab
sunhv
