It would be better if could detect both types of overrun.

Did you try moving the purge command at close to after disabling the
uart?

Or perhaps we can add a "dummy" comm-status command after disabling the
uart?

It seems a bit weird to be updating the error counters while polling
for tx-empty during close. How about having cp210x_get_comm_status()
take two u32 pointers for tx_count and errors and only pass in one or
the other from cp210x_tx_empty() and cp210x_get_icount() respectively?

And then you update the error counters here, preferably under the port
lock.
