From d9b68e5e88248bb24fd4e455588bea1d56108fd6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kyle McMartin Date: Tue, 3 Aug 2010 20:38:08 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] parisc: pass through '\t' to early (iodc) console The firmware handles '\t' internally, so stop trying to emulate it (which, incidentally, had a bug in it.) Fixes a really weird hang at bootup in rcu_bootup_announce, which, as far as I can tell, is the first printk in the core kernel to use a tab as the first character.
