Subject: [PATCH 04/15] tty: serial: 8250_core: read only RX if there is something in the FIFO

The serial8250_do_startup() function unconditionally clears the
interrupts and for that it reads from the RX-FIFO without checking if
there is a byte in the FIFO or not. This works fine on OMAP4+ HW like
AM335x or DRA7.
OMAP3630 ES1.1 (which means probably all OMAP3 and earlier) does not like
this:
