Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH v1] xen/serial: Return actual bytes stored in TX FIFO for OMAP



Hi, all.
Although OMAP and 8250 compatible UARTs have a lot of common, they
differs at least in configuration steps
since OMAP UART has such thing as "register access mode", also OMAP
UART has additional features and as a result a subset of additional
registers.
