[ANNOUNCE] v6.6-rc4-rt8

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

Dear RT folks!

I'm pleased to announce the v6.6-rc4-rt8 patch set. 

Changes since v6.6-rc4-rt7:

  - The amba-pl011 acciently used a trylock instead of a normal lock
    operation for console output. This has been introduced in the
    previous release. Reported by Pierre Gondois.

  - The 8250 atomic console implementation used a bit of code which was
    not designed for atomic consoles. Reported by Pierre Gondois, patch
    by John Ogness.

Known issues
     None
