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).
Right. It has been re-added in the middle of 13.05 cycle when half of this patch (the 2nd of its two hunks) has got into one of the topics.
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%...
I haven't noticed that the Android topic reverted this change. Now I've removed the 892a9def from llct-v3.10-misc-fixes topic. So the "Make low-level printk work" commit is now removed from linux-linaro-core-tracking, and will get removed from linux-linaro on its next update (should be tomorrow).
Thanks, Andrey
