interresting, thanks. I guess I would need to opimize this a little so
the baudrate isn't going to 0 and back to the requested baudrate.

The interresting difference is that when I take the yocto RFS and chroot
into from Debian then I don't this problem. Not sure if this is really
readline or something else…

This shouldn't be the case. But I will check this once I able to.
After TX-DMA is done, "xmit->tail" is updated and port.icount.tx is
incremented. At this time the TX FIFO is still full (up to 64 bytes) and
I set UART_IER_THRI to wait until TX FIFO is empty so I can disable
runtime-pm. Therefore I would assume LSR does not say BOTH_EMPTY until
the FIFO is empty.
