[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/1 v2] omap3_beagle: Enabling UART3 first allows the Transmitter to be empty

[Manfred Huber]

Please test the Patch. It is very simple on a Beagleboard. I guess you
have flashed the actual SPL and u-boot and Beagleboard boots correctly.
Now press and hold 'User' button and connect power. SPL should hang.
You can see some symbols on the console from the ROM code.

Install the Patch, compile it and flash the NAND. Beagleboard still
boots correctly. Now press and hold 'User' button again and Beagleboard
should also boot correctly. The Patch works.

I suspect the IGEP board has the same bug. If so, the Patch should work
on this board too and we don't need CONFIG_SYS_NS16550_BROKEN_TEMT
anymore.

If you don't want a patch for this bug please let me know. I will not
bother you again.

Best regards,
Manfred
