+Subject: MIPS: ath79: make bootconsole wait for both THRE and TEMT
+
+From: Matthias Schiffer <mschiffer@universe-factory.net>
+
+commit f5b556c94c8490d42fea79d7b4ae0ecbc291e69d upstream.
+
+This makes the ath79 bootconsole behave the same way as the generic 8250
+bootconsole.
+
+Also waiting for TEMT (transmit buffer is empty) instead of just THRE
+(transmit buffer is not full) ensures that all characters have been
+transmitted before the real serial driver starts reconfiguring the serial
+controller (which would sometimes result in garbage being transmitted.)
+This change does not cause a visible performance loss.
+
+In addition, this seems to fix a hang observed in certain configurations on
+many AR7xxx/AR9xxx SoCs during autoconfig of the real serial driver.
+
+A more complete follow-up patch will disable 8250 autoconfig for ath79
+altogether (the serial controller is detected as a 16550A, which is not
+fully compatible with the ath79 serial, and the autoconfig may lead to
+undefined behavior on ath79.)

+Subject: MIPS: Fix siginfo.h to use strict posix types
+
+From: James Hogan <james.hogan@imgtec.com>
+
+commit 5daebc477da4dfeb31ae193d83084def58fd2697 upstream.
+
+Commit 85efde6f4e0d ("make exported headers use strict posix types")
+changed the asm-generic siginfo.h to use the __kernel_* types, and
+commit 3a471cbc081b ("remove __KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES") make the internal
+types accessible only to the kernel, but the MIPS implementation hasn't
+been updated to match.
+
+Switch to proper types now so that the exported asm/siginfo.h won't
+produce quite so many compiler errors when included alone by a user
+program.
