If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ilpo Järvinen commit 73a4ed8f9efaaaf8207614ccc1c9d5ca1888f23a upstream. INTC10EE UART can end up into an interrupt storm where it reports IIR_NO_INT (0x1). If the storm happens during active UART operation, it is promptly stopped by IIR value change due to Rx or Tx events. However, when there is no activity, either due to idle serial line or due to specific circumstances such as during shutdown that writes IER=0, there is nothing to stop the storm. During shutdown the storm is particularly problematic because serial8250_do_shutdown() calls synchronize_irq() that will hang in waiting for the storm to finish which never happens. This problem can also result in triggering a warning: irq 45: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) [...snip...] handlers: serial8250_interrupt Disabling IRQ #45 Normal means to reset interrupt status by reading LSR, MSR, USR, or RX register do not result in the UART deasserting the IRQ. Add a quirk to INTC10EE UARTs to enable Tx interrupts if UART's Tx is currently empty and inactive. Rework IIR_NO_INT to keep track of the number of consecutive IIR_NO_INT, and on fourth one perform the quirk. Enabling Tx interrupts should change IIR value from IIR_NO_INT to IIR_THRI which has been observed to stop the storm.
