From 49b532f96fda23663f8be35593d1c1372c0f91e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Williams Date: Fri, 6 Apr 2012 11:49:44 -0700 Subject: Revert "serial/8250_pci: setup-quirk workaround for the kt serial controller" This reverts commit 448ac154c957c4580531fa0c8f2045816fe2f0e7. The semantic of UPF_IIR_ONCE is only guaranteed to workaround the race condition in the kt serial's iir register if the only source of interrupts is THRE (fifo-empty) events. An modem status event at the wrong time can again cause an iir read to drop the 'empty' status leading to a hang. So, revert this in preparation for using the existing "I don't trust my iir register" workaround in the 8250 core (UART_BUG_THRE).

Register reads coincident with new interrupt notifications sometimes result in this device clearing the interrupt event without reporting it in the read data. The serial core already has a heuristic for determining when a device has an untrustworthy iir register. In this case when we apriori know that the iir is faulty use a flag (UPF_BUG_THRE) to bypass the test and force usage of the background timer.
