Thanks Robert!! Would really like to test the 485 mode in the 8250 driver, but before that, we're going to try to get 485 mode enabled on the FTDI FT4232 USB<->serial hub. We've ordered some FT4232 Mini Module evaluation boards for FT4232 (FT4232H chip + EEPROM + breakout pins + mini USB por

[beagleboard] Ongoing Support for OMAP Serial Driver in Future Kernel Versions

2018-08-02 Thread Jeff Andich
Hi, What's the best way to find out how long a legacy driver like the omap-serial driver will be supported in the kernel going forward? We've swapped out the 8250 driver for the OMAP serial driver via the .config file, since the omap serial driver implements a 485 mode which, thus far, appears
