yes, but i cannot give a technical review. But from my gut feeling this 
doesn't look really elegant to me.

Based on this commit message this looks like a fix / workaround for an 
issue. It would be very helpful to know:

What issue should be fixed?

Why is it fixed here and not in the UART driver for instance?

In case it fixes a regression, a Fixes tag should be necessary.

In best case this is explained in the commit message.

Best regards
