From 1ffcd67dbcde910c2fd2d1c427c5f62f385fff12 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Thompson Date: Tue, 13 May 2014 17:08:57 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] serial: st-asc: Fix data corruption during long console bursts On my test platform (B2020/STiH416) the serial port issues bad characters during the initial message avalanche as the console comes up. The problem also occurs when dense(ish) I/O is done using the polled I/O interface. The problem is fixed for me by using the FIFO half-empty bit rather than FIFO full bit. Note that using the half-empty bit causes the FIFO to be managed in a similar way to interrupt based I/O (i.e. where the hardware gets best test coverage). Running the FIFO half full will have no impact (good or bad) on console performance. The UART will still remain fully saturated and the busy-wait until the FIFO is empty in asc_console_write() will complete at the same time.
