After kdb was merged, the CONSOLE_POLL API had a subtle change where
all I/O drivers should return immediately with a return of
NO_POLL_CHAR in order to allow more than one I/O driver to operate in
the same poll loop.


The patch should look like the following for the get_poll_char.

+static int ulite_get_poll_char(struct uart_port *port)
+{
+ if (!(ioread32be(port->membase + ULITE_STATUS)
+ & ULITE_STATUS_RXVALID))
+ return NO_POLL_CHAR;
+
+ return ioread32be(port->membase + ULITE_RX);
+}


If you agree to the change you can add my SOB.

I have no problem with it.
