From 68cb4f8e246bbbc649980be0628cae9265870a91 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Jackson Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:08:11 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
