[U-Boot] [PATCH] serial: Make full device search optional

Alexander Graf agraf at suse.de
Mon Jan 29 12:57:20 UTC 2018


Commit 608b0c4ad4e5ec0c ("serial: Use next serial device if probing fails")
added code to search for more serial devices if the default one was not
probed correctly.

Unfortunately, that breaks omap3_evm. So while investigating why that is
the case, let's disable the full search for everyone but bcm283x where it
is needed.

Fixes: 608b0c4ad4e5ec0c ("serial: Use next serial device if probing fails")

Derald, could you please test this patch and verify it does indeed unbreak
omap3_evm?

Thanks!
