Dear RT folks!

I'm pleased to announce the v6.6-rc4-rt8 patch set.

Changes since v6.6-rc4-rt7:

- The amba-pl011 acciently used a trylock instead of a normal lock
operation for console output. This has been introduced in the
previous release. Reported by Pierre Gondois.

- The 8250 atomic console implementation used a bit of code which was
not designed for atomic consoles. Reported by Pierre Gondois, patch
by John Ogness.

Known issues
None
