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?
Cheers, Javi
