Hi Manfred,
I don't have access to my IGEP board right now but I'll test your
patch as soon as posible.

I still think that we should keep CONFIG_SYS_NS16550_BROKEN_TEMT or
something similar instead of just checking for CONFIG_OMAP34XX. Since
we don't know if this problem is also present on other TI OMAP
platforms (or any other platform). I would just change
CONFIG_SYS_NS16550_BROKEN_TEMT semantics once is confirmed that this
also fixes the issue on IGEP boards.
Also, if you are removing CONFIG_SYS_NS16550_BROKEN_TEMT then you have
to update the README too since it is explained there what this config
option does.

Thanks a lot for working on this. Some people work on mainline U-Boot
on their free time (like myself) so it can take a few days until you
get a response about a patch. Please be patient :-)
