This reverts commit 2e9fe539108320820016f78ca7704a7342788380. Reading LSR unconditionally but processing the error flags only if UART_IIR_RDI bit was set before in IIR may lead to a loss of transmission error information on UARTs where the transmission error flags are cleared by a read of LSR. Information are lost in case an error is detected right before the read of LSR while processing e.g. an UART_IIR_THRI interrupt.
