The patch you're complaining about is doing exactly that -- it sets UART_FCR_CLEAR_RCVR | UART_FCR_CLEAR_XMIT in FCR , and then clears it. Those two bits are exactly FCR[2:1]. It also explicitly does not touch any other bits in FCR. > So I think the safest option might be to restore the original behaviour > & just keep your change for the __do_stop_tx_rs485() path specifically, > something like the below.

The original behavior cleared the entire FCR at the end, which cleared even bits that were not supposed to be cleared . This patch will make things worse by retaining the clr_mask set in the FCR, thus the FCR[2:1] will be set when you return from this function.
