Hi,

Linaro kernels include a patch by Tony Lindgren that adds a printascii() to every printk() call. Currently in linux-linaro-tracking, that's 892a9def (ARM: Make low-level printk work). With this patch, every line is printed twice once you've registered a console driver which is a bit of a pain. Speaking to him, he acknowledges that this hack is no longer needed since we now have earlyprintk, so can this patch be removed from linaro kernels?

By the looks of things, it's already been removed, and was done so a couple of weeks ago before the Linaro 13.05 release. The current commit which reverts it is... https://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=kernel/linux-linaro-tracking.git%3Ba=commit%...
