Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH 1/1 v3] omap3_beagle: Enabling UART3 first allows the Transmitter to be empty

Hi Manfred,

On Fri, 29 Mar 2013 10:20:25 +0100, Manfred Huber man.huber@arcor.de wrote:

On some OMAP3 devices when UART3 is configured for boot mode before SPL starts only THRE bit is set. We have to empty the transmitter before initialization starts. This patch avoids the use of CONFIG_SYS_NS16550_BROKEN_TEMT.

Patch history is missing here.

Also, I would like the commit summary (first commit message line, also subject of the patch mail) to clearly state what the patch *does* as opposed to what *happens*, because it is unclear right now if you're describing the solution or the issue. Something like :

"omap3_beagle: flush UART3 xmit on enable if TEMT is broken"
