-gerrit commit 7ef53364ae202363e4260ffc8e306a0ae10db0c6 Author: Kyösti Mälkki <[email protected]> Date: Tue Feb 7 20:50:22 2012 +0200 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.
