SubjectRe: TTY loosing data with u_serial gadget
Hi Greg

Thanks for your quick answer. Meanwhile we ported our board to 2.6.38.
We recognize the same problem again.
I had also a look at the relevant fixes, a lot is done but I could not find
the required protection of the attribute receive_room.

I added a printk in case of failure were receive_room shows more
space that is really available in the queue and also used.

The printk is attached below and also the log.

Regards
Stefan
