Disable CONFIG_HVC_UDBG on ppc64el

[bugproxy]

Canonical,

Could you please disable CONFIG_HVC_UDBG on ppc64el config?

This is not required, and it is causing some extra timing on the TTY device that is causing some racing condition that is still being debugged

[Michael Hohnbaum (hohnbaum)]

Leann,

A request for the Kernel Team to consider.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-zesty' to 'verification-done-zesty'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-zesty' to 'verification-failed-zesty'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
