Hi Timur,

His UART is not working yet.  I am fine with him testing my patch (I hope he does),
just he still is working on getting his UART to work at all.  I think since he is
using MPC8358, he needs the soft UART mode microcode patch.

The patch that you mention above is one I wrote that affects how the UART close
operation handles being closed when buffered output is still present.  I fixed the
timeout so it closes in the correct amount of time.  Gary is not quite ready for
testing this yet.

Thanks,
Chuck
