From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx> While debugging why my 8-port XR17V35X card does not work with the in-kernel serial driver, I found that some chip specific wakeup code is necessary to get it working. Specificly the EFR_ECB bit needs to be set in the chip-specific UART_XR_EFR register, so that writing to a couple of other configuration bits is enabled.
