[Ltib] Phytec console startup garbage

[Chris Westervelt]

I think this might be for Kevin Wells but anybody can chime in.  I’m trying to spin a patched version (for my board) of the Phytec build of 2.6.39 and everthing is fine except for when the kernel is booting.  U-boot comes up on tera-term at 115200 baud and starts the kernel with the correct console=ttyS0,115200,n,8 pass line for the kernel.  When the kernel executes, it glitches the serial port somehow and gets the terminal in sudo VT52 graphics mode and it displays garbage characters until I reset the terminal software.  I never had this problem on boot until I went from 34-39 of the kernel.  Has anyone else seen this?  I have tried several different things but no resolve.  BTW the stock build with no patches does it too.
