When booting Linux with an SBSA UART, e.g. when booting mach-virt
9bac43
with ACPI, if the user types on the console during boot, then when
9bac43
the login prompt appears she won't be able to log in. This is
9bac43
because during boot the SBSA UART needs to be reset, but the SBSA
9bac43
specification doesn't provide registers to enable/disable the FIFOs.
9bac43
This patch observes a couple registers the SBSA UART does write to
9bac43
in order to attempt to guess when a reset is needed, and then do it.
9bac43
We risk losing some characters from the FIFO if the guess is wrong,
9bac43
but the risk of that should be quite low.
