Where does this register write come from? The PL010 driver's IRQ handler ambauart_int() originally modified the CR register without holding the port spinlock. ambauart_set_termios() also modified that register. To prevent concurrent read-modify-writes by the IRQ handler and to prevent transmission while changing baudrate, ambauart_set_termios() had to disable interrupts. That is achieved by writing zero to the CR register. However in 2004 the PL010 driver was amended to acquire the port spinlock in the IRQ handler, obviating the need to disable interrupts in ->set_termios(): https://git.kernel.org/history/history/c/157c0342e591 That rendered the CR register write obsolete. Drop it.
