From 548dd4b6da8a8e428453d55f7fa7b8a46498d147 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johan Hovold Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2012 13:20:49 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] USB: serial: fix console error reporting Do not report errors in write path if port is used as a console as this may trigger the same error (and error report) resulting in a loop.
