tx_empty() should test whether both the transmitter fifo and shifter for the port is empty, ie. the whole last char was transmitted. The shift register is empty if AUART_STAT_BUSY is cleared. The patch fixes the function against the shift register. According to i.MX23 and i.MX28 Reference Manual: AUART_STAT_TXFE: TX FIFO or transmit holding register is empty. AUART_STAT_BUSY: AUART still transmits bits. The BUSY signal goes HIGH as soon as the data is written to the transmit FIFO (that is, the FIFO is non-empty) and remains asserted HIGH while data is being transmitted. BUSY is negated only when the transmit FIFO is empty, and the last character has been transmitted from the shift register, including the stop bits.
