Subject: [PATCH 2/2] alpha: add a delay before serial port read
Date: Wed, 6 May 2020 07:23:31 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LRH.2.02.2005060721450.25338@file01.intranet.prod.int.rdu2.redhat.com> (raw)

The patch 92d7223a74235054f2aa7227d207d9c57f84dca0 ("alpha: io: reorder
barriers to guarantee writeX() and iowriteX() ordering #2") broke boot on
the Alpha Avanti platform.

The patch changes timing between accesses to the ISA bus, in particular,
it reduces the time between "write" access and a subsequent "read" access.

This causes lock-up when accessing the real time clock and serial ports.

This patch fixes the serial ports by adding a small delay before the "inb"
instruction.
