If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Daniel Jedrychowski commit 2bed8a8e70729f996af92042d3ad0f11870acc1f upstream. When in RS485 emulation mode, __do_stop_tx_rs485() calls serial8250_clear_fifos(). This not only clears the FIFOs, but also sets all bits in their control register (UART_FCR) to 0. One of the effects of this is the disabling of the FIFOs, which turns them into single-byte holding registers. The rest of the driver doesn't know this, which results in the lions share of characters passed into a write call to be dropped. (I can supply logic analyzer screenshots if necessary) This fix replaces the serial8250_clear_fifos() call to serial8250_clear_and_reinit_fifos() - this prevents the "dropped characters" issue from manifesting again while retaining the requirement of clearing the RX FIFO after transmission if the SER_RS485_RX_DURING_TX flag is disabled.
