Grumble!

If they're 100% identical in terms of the registers, then it's probably
impossible to differentiate between the two.

I don't know - maybe Alex Williamson can try your patch out.

... or maybe this can be used to test for the buggy version.

The docs I've just pulled of Exar's site imply that the XR16L2551
doesn't have a transmit trigger threshold, so UART_FCR_T_TRIG_00
shouldn't be specified here.  Also, is there a reason for restricting
the RX trigger level to 4 instead of 8 bytes?
