Revision f5968b37b3ad35b682b574b578843a0361218aff authored by Kumar Gala on 08 February 2006, 21:34:35 UTC, committed by Russell King on 08 February 2006, 21:34:35 UTC
On some embedded PowerPC (MPC834x) systems an extra byte would some
times be required to flush data out of the fifo.
serial8250_console_write() was updating the IER in hardware without
also updating the copy in uart_8250_port. This causes issues functions
like serial8250_start_tx() and __stop_tx() to misbehave.
