Hi Heikki,

Thank you for your reply.

Oh, I'll fix it.

Ah, we don't need to set up->fcr = 0 in the previous flow when we
implement as follows:

unsigned char fcr = up->fcr;

  ... <snip> ...

     /*
      * If fcr exists, a user has opened this port, changed RX
      * trigger, or read RX trigger before. If so, we do not change
      * fcr.
      */
     if (!fcr)
         fcr = uart_config[port_type].fcr;
     if ((baud < 2400 && !up->dma) || fifo_bug) {
         fcr &= ~UART_FCR_TRIGGER_MASK;
         fcr |= UART_FCR_TRIGGER_1;
     }

up->fcr = fcr;

In these implementation, the driver sets up->fcr as
uart_config[up->port.type].fcr first and changes only RX trigger. So,
we don't need to set the bit in a direct way.

Thank you,
