Subject: [PATCH] serial: 8250_mid: wait for LSR tx empty before setting termios
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2026 14:45:17 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260828144617.1210599-2-whiteberg@arista.com> (raw)

If mid8250_set_termios is called while data is still in transmission,
the corresponding register updates will corrupt the transmission.

Fix this by locking the port and and waiting for the transmitter to
empty before performing updates. It is necessary to wait for both
UART_LSR_THRE and UART_LSR_TEMT to ensure the final character is sent.
