Hi Robert,

I send following patch to fix the broken serial log of Exynos SoC.
As I knew, you also knew this issue.
If possible, could you review or test this patch?

Robert no longer works for Samsung, so I'm afraid that he won't be able to test
this patch.

Best Regards,
Chanwoo Choi

This patch fixes the broken serial log when changing the clock source
of uart device. Before disabling the original clock source, this patch
enables the new clock source to protect the clock off state for a split second.

IMHO clk_prepare_enable() should be moved before s3c24xx_serial_setsource() to be
really sure that there will be no period of hw operating with disabled baud clock.
Could you check if it works for you?

if (!IS_ERR(ourport->baudclk)) {
clk_disable_unprepare(ourport->baudclk);
ourport->baudclk = ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);
}
- clk_prepare_enable(clk);
-
ourport->baudclk = clk;
ourport->baudclk_rate = clk ? clk_get_rate(clk) : 0;
}
