From f377775dc083506e2fd7739d8615971c46b5246e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rob Herring Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2013 21:05:58 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] TTY: hvc_dcc: probe for a JTAG connection before registering Enabling the ARM DCC console and using without a JTAG connection will simply hang the system. Since distros like to turn on all options, this is a reoccurring problem to debug. We can do better by checking if anything is attached and handling characters. There is no way to probe this, so send a newline and check that it is handled.
