This is another attempt to fix booting 32-bit QEMU SPARC machines in
qemu-system-sparc using a real Sun PROM based upon further experiments and
re-reading of the ESCC datasheet from a previous patch posted at
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2021-11/msg00324.html.
It appears that both the Sun PROM and OpenBSD with OpenBIOS fail to send an
explicit reset command as recommended in the ESCC datasheet, which causes
hangs during serial port enumeration since the introduction of the recent
ESCC reset changes.
The first patch always sets STATUS_TXEMPTY in R_STATUS on hardware reset
which wasn't documented in the "Reset" section(s) but is documented in the
"Transmit Interrupts and Transmit Buffer Empty Bit" section, whilst the
second patch updates SPEC_ALLSENT when writing to W_TXCTRL1.

escc: always set STATUS_TXEMPTY in R_STATUS on device reset
escc: update the R_SPEC register SPEC_ALLSENT bit when writing to
W_TXCTRL1
