This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
Revert "serial: 8250: Don't service RX FIFO if interrupts are
to my tty git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
in the tty-testing branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will be merged to the tty-next branch sometime soon,
after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: Revert "serial: 8250: Don't service RX FIFO if interrupts are
disabled"
This reverts commit 2e9fe539108320820016f78ca7704a7342788380.
Reading LSR unconditionally but processing the error flags only if
UART_IIR_RDI bit was set before in IIR may lead to a loss of transmission
error information on UARTs where the transmission error flags are cleared
by a read of LSR. Information are lost in case an error is detected right
before the read of LSR while processing e.g. an UART_IIR_THRI interrupt.
