From 301fe8eeee02c570c5bd30537aff9456f7f7955c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tony Lindgren Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2010 12:34:31 -0800 Subject: omap: Disable serial port autoidle by default Currently the omap serial clocks are autoidled after 5 seconds. However, this causes lost characters on the serial ports. As this is considered non-standard behaviour for Linux, disable the timeout. Note that this will also cause blocking of any deeper omap sleep states. To enable the autoidling of the serial ports, do something like this for each serial port: # echo 5 > /sys/devices/platform/serial8250.0/sleep_timeout # echo 5 > /sys/devices/platform/serial8250.1/sleep_timeout ...
