OTOH, various things made sparc64 a living Hell that took about 9 hours of solid compile/boot/crash drudgery to carry out bisection search on to find the offending patches.
First, I had to back out bk-input because it has a sysfsification patch that deadlocks
sunzilog.cat boot.
Do you know where exactly it was deadlocked? As fas as sunzilog goes the only change was that instead of embedding serio structure inside uart_sunzilog_port it is now accessed through a pointer. The rest of the changes are in serio core and should not depend on type of serio port involved, locking rules have not been changed either...
Any additional info will be appreciated...
