Subject: serial: timbuart: make sure last byte is sent when port is closed
From: Richard Röjfors <richard.rojfors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Fix a problem in early versions of the FPGA IP.

In certain situations the IP reports that the FIFO is empty, but a byte is
still clocked out.  If a flush is done at that point the currently clocked
byte is canceled.

This causes incompatibilities with the upper layers when a port is closed,
it waits until the FIFO is empty and then closes the port.  During close
the FIFO is flushed -> the last byte is not sent properly.

Now the FIFO is only flushed if it is reported to be non-empty.  Which
makes the currently clocked out byte to finish.
