Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] serial: 8250_mid: wait for LSR tx empty before setting termios
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2026 17:57:28 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260828175733.1650267-3-whiteberg@arista.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260828175733.1650267-1-whiteberg@arista.com>
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.
Fixes: d9eda9bab237 ("serial: 8250_pci: Intel MID UART support to its own driver")

Changes in v2:
- Separate changes to 8250.h and 8250_port.c into prerequisite patch,
as recommended by andriy.shevchenko@intel.com
- Apply feedback from andriy.shevchenko@intel.com to 8250_mid.c
