Subject: [PATCH 06/13] serial: linflexuart: Ensure FIFO is empty when entering INITM
Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2026 16:01:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260216150205.212318-7-larisa.grigore@oss.nxp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260216150205.212318-1-larisa.grigore@oss.nxp.com>
In FIFO mode, wait until UARTCR.TDFL_TFC(number Tx FIFO) entries reach 0
before entering INITM mode.
Failing to do so may lead to undefined behavior, such as:
- corrupted characters being printed.
- the device is not able to receive or transmit any character.
In linflex_set_termios, transmission and reception should be disabled
before entering INITM mode, as already done in linflex_setup_watermark.
This patch corrects the behavior that was previously addressed by the
earlycon workaround, making that workaround no longer necessary. The
next patch will remove it.
Fixes: 09864c1cdf5c ("tty: serial: Add linflexuart driver for S32V234")
