Subject: [PATCH 09/11] Blackfin Serial Driver: annotate anomalies 05000215 and 05000099
Date: Tue,  2 Jun 2009 03:11:38 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1243926700-30485-9-git-send-email-vapier@gentoo.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1243926700-30485-1-git-send-email-vapier@gentoo.org>

From: Sonic Zhang <sonic.zhang@analog.com>

Add some comments for how these anomalies are addressed:

05000215 - UART TX Interrupt Masked Erroneously
We always clear ETBEI within last UART TX interrupt to end
a string.  It is always set when starting a new tx transfer.

05000099 - UART Line Status Register (UART_LSR) Bits Are Not Updated at
the Same Time
This anomaly affects driver only in POLL code where multi bits of
UART_LSR are checked. It doesn't affect current bfin_5xx.c driver.
