From: Mingrui Ren <jiladahe1...@gmail.com> As described in Documentation, poll_init() is called by kgdb to initialize hardware which supports both poll_put_char() and poll_get_char().
It's necessary to enable TXEN bit, otherwise, it will cause hardware fault and kernel panic when calling imx_poll_put_char(). Generally, if use /dev/ttymxc0 as kgdb console as well as system console, ttymxc0 is initialized early by system console which does enable TXEN bit.But when use /dev/ttymxc1 as kgbd console, ttymxc1 is only initialized by imx_poll_init() cannot enable the TXEN bit, which will cause kernel panic.
