Ok, sounds good to me, no need to check more backends then.
I see the hvc-console driver is listed as 'Odd Fixes' in the maintainer
list, with nobody assigned other than the ppc kernel list (added to Cc).

Once you come up with a fix in hvc_console.c, please send that to the
tty maintainers, the ppc list and me, and I'll review it.
