I've done similar modifications and try to run it on an omap3530 (PHYCARD-L) board.
I'm able to receive data correctly. But tx data gives a strange behavior.
Writting a little example that basically do rt_dev_write(fd, data_string, data_len) reports no error but no data is being output.

Another example that basically echo received chars:
while (1){
	rt_dev_read(fd, rx_buf, 1);
	rt_dev_write(fd, rx_buf, 1);
	printf("%c", rx_buf[0]);
}
This one displays data when received but transmit is more random.
When a first character has been received, it is only transmitted back when a second one is received.
But second char is transmitted back immediately, without waiting for a third one ...

Further investigation indicates that when writing, tx interrupt is not asserted as expected (rt_16550_write):
/* unmask tx interrupt */
ctx->ier_status |= IER_TX;
rt_16550_reg_out(rt_16550_io_mode_from_ctx(ctx),
		 ctx->base_addr, IER,
		 ctx->ier_status,
		 ctx->regshift);

>From my understanding this should trigger an irq for data to be put in rt_16550_tx_interrupt().
It seems this is not always the case. Moreover, TX interrupt seem to be triggered by a new RX interrupt.

Would you have an explanation for such a behavior?
I'm not sure how to solve this.

Thanks in advance for your help.
