Before I put on my air tanks and go looking in my QUEUE-4.6 email folder
I wanted to start the year by doing some actual programming, and this
seemed like an afternoons hacking...
The two main changes here are:
* a bugfix to deal with DT paths which contain a common, which are
perfectly valid and quite common.
* support for the /chosen/stdout-path device tree property, which
allows Xen to find a boot console without manual configuration
if presented with a suitable device tree. Juno and Seattle both
contain the node in the dt supplied with the upstream Linux
kernel (not sure about their factory kernel), as do a bunch of
non-virt capable arm devices, but with stdout-path support being
added to Linux in v3.19-rc1 I expect that number will soon grow.
I think "dt-uart: use ':' as default separator between path and options"
should be a candidate for stable backport, and if it makes the backport
easier I'd be inclined to take "dt-uart: Clarify log messages at init
time" too.
Ian.
