Subject: [POWERPC] hvcbeat: Fix buffer manipulation
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=55045d47d7a8c4c61bc0ca6f2fac5087dd598bc3;p=linux-beck.git

[POWERPC] hvcbeat: Fix buffer manipulation

This fixes a potential bug at drivers/char/hvc_beat.c.
 - hvc_put_term_char routine will decrement "rest" variable twice,
   and forget to advance "buf" pointer by "nlen" bytes.
This bug was not hit previously because the output handler in
drivers/char/hvc_console.c splits given output into 16 bytes
at maximum.
