Hi Guys,

Can some one please show how to enable printk KERNEL_INFO messages to
appear on serial terminal. I am trying to change the lcd device driver
ep93xxfb.c So i have add some printk messages in the exsisting driver to
see the current configuration of the lcd.

The existing ep93xxfb.c has printk command but nothing is displayed on com
port.

I just get this on the terminal
