+Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: ath79: make bootconsole wait for both THRE and TEMT
+
+This makes the ath79 bootconsole behave the same way as the generic 8250
+bootconsole.
+
+Also waiting for TEMT (transmit buffer is empty) instead of just THRE
+(transmit buffer is not full) ensures that all characters have been
+transmitted before the real serial driver starts reconfiguring the serial
+controller (which would sometimes result in garbage being transmitted.)
+This change does not cause a visible performance loss.
+
+In addition, this seems to fix a hang observed in certain configurations on
+many AR7xxx/AR9xxx SoCs during autoconfig of the real serial driver.
+
+A more complete follow-up patch will disable 8250 autoconfig for ath79
+altogether (the serial controller is detected as a 16550A, which is not
+fully compatible with the ath79 serial, and the autoconfig may lead to
+undefined behavior on ath79.)
