Driver's tx_empty callback should signal when the transmit shift register is empty. So when the last character has been sent. STAT_TX_FIFO_EMP bit signals only that HW transmit FIFO is empty, which happens when the last byte is loaded into transmit shift register. STAT_TX_EMP bit signals when the both HW transmit FIFO and transmit shift register are empty. So replace STAT_TX_FIFO_EMP check by STAT_TX_EMP in mvebu_uart_tx_empty() callback function.
