Commit 293f89959483 ("tty: serial: 21285: stop using the unused[] variable from struct uart_port") introduced a bug which stops the transmit interrupt being disabled when there are no characters to transmit - disabling the transmit interrupt at the interrupt controller is the only way to stop an interrupt storm. If this interrupt is not disabled when there are no transmit characters, we end up with an interrupt storm which prevents the machine making forward progress.
