Subject: [PATCH 4.0 172/220] serial: 8250: Check UART_SCR is writable

4.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Peter Hurley <peter@...leysoftware.com>

commit f01a0bd8921b9d6668d41fae3198970e6318f532 upstream.

Au1x00/RT2800+ doesn't implement the 8250 scratch register (and
this may be true of other h/w currently supported by the 8250 driver);
read back the canary value written to the scratch register to enable
the console h/w restart after resume from system suspend.

Fixes: 4516d50aabedb ("serial: 8250: Use canary to restart console ...")
