Current code resets the uart port only when it supports the irda mode. In actually, we also need to reset the uart port in the non-irda mode. A hang was caught in the following case: UART A transmits data to the other end. But the transmission maybe terminated. In some corner case, the TX FIFO maybe not empty. The kernel will hang at the imx_set_termios(): ............................................................ while (!(readl(sport->port.membase + USR2) & USR2_TXDC)) barrier(); ............................................................ This patch resets the uart port all the time in the imx_startup(). And fix the hang.
