Thanks for pointing me that.
I would try to solve serial breakage on intel with already extisting
patches dropping this one.
I'm going to try.

I can't understand if it's enough using qemu x86 to reproduce the bug.
If so I'm going to debug and check what makes driver to fail.

Do you think it makes sense? Would it be accepted after bug fixing?

Thanks
Best regards
