This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

serial: pch: don't overwrite xmit->buf[0] by x_char

to my tty git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git in the tty-testing branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will be merged to the tty-next branch sometime soon, after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

From d9f3af4fbb1d955bbaf872d9e76502f6e3e803cb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Slaby jslaby@suse.cz Date: Tue, 3 May 2022 10:08:03 +0200 Subject: serial: pch: don't overwrite xmit->buf[0] by x_char

When x_char is to be sent, the TX path overwrites whatever is in the circular buffer at offset 0 with x_char and sends it using pch_uart_hal_write(). I don't understand how this was supposed to work if xmit->buf[0] already contained some character. It must have been lost.

Remove this whole pop_tx_x() concept and do the work directly in the callers. (Without printing anything using dev_dbg().)
