Subject: [PATCH 5.9 259/391] tty: serial: 21285: fix lockup on open

From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@...linux.org.uk>

commit 82776f6c75a90e1d2103e689b84a689de8f1aa02 upstream.

Commit 293f89959483 ("tty: serial: 21285: stop using the unused[]
variable from struct uart_port") introduced a bug which stops the
transmit interrupt being disabled when there are no characters to
transmit - disabling the transmit interrupt at the interrupt controller
is the only way to stop an interrupt storm. If this interrupt is not
disabled when there are no transmit characters, we end up with an
interrupt storm which prevents the machine making forward progress.

Fixes: 293f89959483 ("tty: serial: 21285: stop using the unused[] variable from struct uart_port")
