Issue with firmware, reported upstream https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/833
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 26-final by Fedora user pbrobinson using the blocker tracking app because: This is a regression on the Serial Console of the Raspberry Pi. I'm filing this as a freeze exception as the HDMI display output works as expected, but the serial console is a common use case and is useful for a number of use cases so it's useful to have this fixed for a decent OOTB experience for a primary ARM device.

+1 FE. Pi support is a big deal.

Discussed at 2017-07-03 freeze exception review meeting: https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2017-07-03/f26-blocker-review.2017-07-03-16.06.html . Accepted as a freeze exception issue, as obviously Pi is one of our major target platforms and it's important to try and ensure serial console output works. Also the change seems quite safe (reversion to a previously-tested version).
bcm283x-firmware-20170613-2.73f44c6.fc26 has been pushed to the Fedora 26 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
