Subject: Re: UART/TTY console deadlock

Hey everyone,
So it looks like this was a red herring. We were getting spurious
interrupts which I suspect caused the console code to get called in
some critical section. Once we fixed the spurious interrupts we no
longer see the issue. Sorry for the noise.

Thanks,
Raul
