[PATCH resend] iop13xx: workaround errata that causes uart interruptsto be missed

From: Dan Williams
Date: Wed Nov 11 2009 - 22:58:42 EST


Reading the uart iir register sometimes results in the interrupt being
cleared without being reported. Use the the system interrupt pending
register as a fallback.

This converts locations in the code that only care about the interrupt
pending bit to use the iir_int_status() macro.

Hi Alan,

Looking for an acked-by or advice on how to get this hack upstream. I
have been carrying it for a while out of tree [1], but that is getting
tiresome. Russell pointed me at you as the gatekeeper of 8250.c, but
feel free to redirect me if someone else is looking after this file
these days.

Thanks,
Dan
