Hi there

So far I haven't really done that much tests with the ts-uarts using the
kernel driver.
So can't really help you. I did notice some strange behavior.

What I do know is that if you use the uarts via the /dev/mem device
using mmap.
Then things works fine.
And it's not all that difficult to program I guess.
Accept I don't know how to get the IRQ stuff working? Maybe scanning the
kernel drivers source might reveal something.

But I would rather get the /dev/ttts? stuff working as I have
applications that already have serial programming in them to work with
normal
serial drivers.

My guess is that the tsuart1 and tsuart7800 drivers doesn't implement
the linux serial interface 100% correctly :/
But I should really do more tests before I point fingers :D

good luck
-Heinrich
