[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/1 v3] omap3_beagle: Enabling UART3 first allows the Transmitter to be empty

Fri Mar 29 10:20:25 CET 2013


On some OMAP3 devices when UART3 is configured for boot mode before SPL starts 
only THRE bit is set. We have to empty the transmitter before initialization 
starts. This patch avoids the use of CONFIG_SYS_NS16550_BROKEN_TEMT.
