3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "Steven A. Falco" <sfalco@xxxxxxxxxx> commit c39e8e4354ce4daf23336de5daa28a3b01f00aa6 upstream. The TX_FIFO register is 10 bits wide. The lower 8 bits are the data to be written, while the upper two bits are flags to indicate stop/start. The driver apparently attempted to optimize write access, by only writing a byte in those cases where the stop/start bits are zero. However, we have seen cases where the lower byte is duplicated onto the upper byte by the hardware, which causes inadvertent stop/starts. This patch changes the write access to the transmit FIFO to always be 16 bits wide. Signed off by: Steven A.
