This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

serial: cpm_uart: return immediately from console poll

to my tty git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git in the tty-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

kgdb expects poll function to return immediately and returning NO_POLL_CHAR when no character is available.
