Fwd: serial8250: too much work

[Alemao <xcarandiru@gmail.com>]

Im facing some problems with serial, getting flooded with this
message:

---
serial8250: too much work for irq16
---

Something I notice, in my .dts I have the following lines:

serial0: serial@4500, interrupts =3D <9 =A00x8>
serial1: serial@4600, interrupts =3D <10 0x8>
spi: =A0 =A0   spi@7000, =A0 =A0  interrupts =3D <16 0x8>

But when kernel starts:

---
Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 4 ports, IRQ sharing enabled
serial8250.0: ttyS0 at MMIO 0xe0004500 (irq =3D 16) is a 16550A
---

Why IRQ 16? Shouldn't it be IRQ 9?

I traced functions calls in 8250.c driver:

---
serial8250_interrup() -> serial8250_handle_port() -> transmit_chars()
---

"too much work" is for transmiting, but there's nothing to transmit.

In my MPC8343 board I have only serial0 connected to a MAX3232, serial1
is floating. Maybe some electromagnetic interference in the bus?

I found this comments in linux/drivers/serial/8250.h, and tried to use
same defines that they used, but no success:

/*
=A0* Digital did something really horribly wrong with the OUT1 and OUT2
=A0* lines on at least some ALPHA's. =A0The failure mode is that if either
=A0* is cleared, the machine locks up with endless interrupts.
=A0*/

/*
=A0* WindRiver did something similarly broken on their SBC8560 board. The
=A0* UART tristates its IRQ output while OUT2 is clear, but they pulled
=A0* the interrupt line _up_ instead of down, so if we register the IRQ
=A0* while the UART is in that state, we die in an IRQ storm.
=A0*/


I also tried removing serial1 and spi from .dts, but didn't work.

Any sugestions?

Cheers,
