Subject: [PATCH 4.9 37/56] serial: sh-sci: Fix setting SCSCR_TIE while transferring data

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

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

From: Hoan Nguyen An <na-hoan@...so.co.jp>

commit 93bcefd4c6bad4c69dbc4edcd3fbf774b24d930d upstream.

We disable transmission interrupt (clear SCSCR_TIE) after all data has been transmitted
(if uart_circ_empty(xmit)). While transmitting, if the data is still in the tty buffer,
re-enable the SCSCR_TIE bit, which was done at sci_start_tx().
This is unnecessary processing, wasting CPU operation if the data transmission length is large.
And further, transmit end, FIFO empty bits disabling have also been performed in the step above.
