imx-serial-excessive-status-clearing-on-break.patch
cc: Sasha Hauer <kernel@pengutronix.de>
We noticed that we were only able to communicate once with a GSM module
per session, if we powered down the module then the serial driver was
broken until reset, no traffic or /proc/interrupts activity could be
seen any more.
Volker noticed it was provoked by a long "break" seen on the wire when
the RX was not driven during powerdown, we discovered we could kill the
serial driver just by forcing RX low extenally for a little while.
I saw that the processing for BREAK in the driver gets too excited and
clears down all set bits in USR2, including that a character is pending.
This stops all further characters getting processed.
The attached one-liner makes the serial driver immortal against BREAK.
