Subject: [13/34] serial: imx.c: fix CTS trigger level lower to avoid lost chars

2.6.34-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Valentin Longchamp <valentin.longchamp@...l.ch>

commit 1c5250d6163dac28be3afabdfb6c723f107051b7 upstream.

The imx CTS trigger level is left at its reset value that is 32
chars. Since the RX FIFO has 32 entries, when CTS is raised, the
FIFO already is full. However, some serial port devices first empty
their TX FIFO before stopping when CTS is raised, resulting in lost
chars.

This patch sets the trigger level lower so that other chars arrive
after CTS is raised, there is still room for 16 of them.
