Anyone know where Ted Tso is? He hasn't posted in several weeks. Alan, will you put this in -ac? This patch fixes a bug in serial.c that causes a crash on machines with a ST16C654. On Tue, May 15, 2001 at 09:52:01AM -0400, Stuart MacDonald wrote: > Kernel version? Distribution? Are you using

[PATCH] drivers/char/serial.c bug in ST16C654 detection

2001-05-11 Thread Val Henson
This fixes a bug in the autoconfig_startech_uarts function in serial.c. The problem is that 0's are written to the baud rate registers in order to detect an XR16C850 or XR16C854. This makes the Exar ST16C654 go kablooey. Saving and restoring the baud rate registers after the test fixes it.
