Thanks for the fixes, but I already posted patches that probably fix the
issues you are observing, And Greg took them into his tty-testing branch.
Can you give them a try instead of your patches?
Dave Martin (2):
Revert "serial/amba-pl011: Leave the TX IRQ alone when the UART is not
open"
serial/amba-pl011: Refactor and simplify TX FIFO handling
from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git tty-testing
It would be good to have some feedback on them.
Cheers
