Hi,
we've experienced issues with missing kernel messages in the serial on the
sc7180 based platforms in our lab for a while now.
I've just run a batch of jobs that just boot and write some messages to
/dev/kmsg on sc7180-trogdor-lazor-limozeen. Before the patch, in 18 out of
20 runs the first message would be missing in the logs causing the test to fail.
After the patch all 20 runs passed. So this is a clear fix, and I'm very happy
to say goodbye to this issue. Thank you!
