4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Lanqing Liu <lanqing.liu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 4350782570b919f254c1e083261a21c19fcaee90 upstream. On Spreadtrum's serial device, nearly all of interrupts would be cleared by hardware except timeout interrupt. This patch removed the operation of clearing all interrupt in irq handler, instead added an if statement to check if the timeout interrupt is supposed to be cleared. Wrongly clearing timeout interrupt would lead to uart data stay in rx fifo, that means the driver cannot read them out anymore.
