  Revert "serial: 8250: Fix clearing FIFOs in RS485 mode again" (2018-12-17 16:18:29 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
TTY/Serial fix for 4.20-rc8

Here is a single fix, a revert, for the 8250 serial driver to resolve a
reported problem.  There was some attempted patches to fix the issue,
but people are arguing about them, so reverting the patch to revert back
to the 4.19 and older behavior is the best thing to do at this late in
the release cycle.

The revert has been in linux-next with no reported issues.
