The patch 92d7223a74235054f2aa7227d207d9c57f84dca0 ("alpha: io: reorder barriers to guarantee writeX() and iowriteX() ordering #2") broke boot on the Alpha Avanti platform. The patch changes timing between accesses to the ISA bus, in particular, it reduces the time between "write" access and a subsequent "read" access. This causes lock-up when accessing the real time clock and serial ports. This patch fixes the serial ports by adding a small delay before the "inb" instruction. We introduce a global variable alpha_has_broken_serial_ports_and_needs_delay - it is defined on Alpha and it is set to 1 if we have the specific PCI-ISA bridge where this bug occurs. We also introduce a new per-port flag UPQ_DELAY_BEFORE_READ, the flag is set if alpha_has_broken_serial_ports_and_needs_delay is set and if the serial port is an ISA port.
