Subject: Serial: Do not read IIR in serial8250_start_tx when UART_BUG_TXEN
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=68cb4f8e246bbbc649980be0628cae9265870a91;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

Serial: Do not read IIR in serial8250_start_tx when UART_BUG_TXEN

Do not read IIR in serial8250_start_tx when UART_BUG_TXEN

Reading the IIR clears some oustanding interrupts so it is not safe.
Instead, simply transmit immediately if the buffer is empty without
regard to IIR.
