> serial: use tty_port pointers in the core code -tip testing found a weird serial code related crash on a testbox: the box does spontaneous reboot during the user-space portions of bootup. There's nothing in the serial log, but i've been able to bisect it to: | 46d57a449aa13d9c6adcc9d1dbc7b9a0ecfb69d8 is first bad commit | commit 46d57a449aa13d9c6adcc9d1dbc7b9a0ecfb69d8 | Author: Alan Cox | Date: Sat Sep 19 13:13:29 2009 -0700 | | serial: use tty_port pointers in the core code A revert looks rather impossible due to how the changes are layered on each other. Can try any test-patch.
