-gerrit commit 2a561dbd95074be053c7c3349a7a62b16889a01d Author: Stefan Reinauer <[email protected]> Date: Fri Mar 30 16:19:31 2012 -0700 Don't loop infinitely long on serial comm failures If serial uart (8250/16x50) takes abnormally long to respond, give up on logging to serial console and instead let the system boot. Also reference bit in LSR register with correct name.
