Subject: [PATCH v2 -next] tty: serial: pl011: set UART011_CR_RXE in pl011_set_termios after port shutdown

UART011_CR_RXE is set in pl011_startup() during normal initialization, and
cleared by pl011_disable_uart() during port shutdown.

You can use a none-console port in poll mode like kgdboc does with
tty_find_polling_driver() after a port shutdown. But pl011_startup() is not
called in tty_find_polling_driver(). So you need to set UART011_CR_RXE to
reenable receive function.

Not sure setting UART011_CR_RXE in pl011_set_termios() is a good idea
though.
