Yeah, that's the patch I meant.

I don't have a failing board (I think). So here are a few questions
about yours:

 - how does the dts snippet for your failing device look like?
 - This is not the device the console runs on, right?
 - Can you initialize the device in the bootloader and check if it is
   working there?
 - Does it make a difference in Linux if the bootloader used the device
   before?
 - Can you dump the register space of the uart with v4.12-rc2 and
   v4.12-rc2 + revert of e61c38d85b7392e?

Best regards
Uwe
