This works fine on OMAP4+ HW like AM335x or DRA7. OMAP3630 ES1.1 (which means probably all OMAP3 and earlier) does not like this: |Unhandled fault: external abort on non-linefetch (0x1028) at 0xfb020000 |Internal error: : 1028 [#1] ARM |Modules linked in: |CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper Not tainted 3.16.0-00022-g7edcb57-dirty #1213 |task: de0572c0 ti: de058000 task.ti: de058000 |PC is at mem32_serial_in+0xc/0x1c |LR is at serial8250_do_startup+0x220/0x85c |Flags: nzCv IRQs on FIQs on Mode SVC_32 ISA ARM Segment kernel |Control: 10c5387d Table: 80004019 DAC: 00000015 |[] (mem32_serial_in) from [] (serial8250_do_startup+0x220/0x85c) |[] (serial8250_do_startup) from [] (omap_8250_startup+0x5c/0xe0) |[] (omap_8250_startup) from [] (serial8250_startup+0x18/0x2c) |[] (serial8250_startup) from [] (uart_startup+0x78/0x1d8) |[] (uart_startup) from [] (uart_open+0xe8/0x114) |[] (uart_open) from [] (tty_open+0x1a8/0x5a4) Reviewed-by: Tony Lindgren Tested-by: Tony Lindgren Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
