UART011_CR_RXE is set in pl011_startup() during normal initialization, and cleared by pl011_disable_uart() during port shutdown. You can use a none-console port in poll mode like kgdboc does with tty_find_polling_driver() after a port shutdown. But pl011_startup() is not called in tty_find_polling_driver(). So you need to set UART011_CR_RXE to reenable receive function. Not sure setting UART011_CR_RXE in pl011_set_termios() is a good idea through.
