From: James Hogan <james.hogan@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit 6979f8d28049879e6147767d93ba6732c8bd94f4 upstream. Commit c49436b657d0 (serial: 8250_dw: Improve unwritable LCR workaround) caused a regression. It added a check that the LCR was written properly to detect and workaround the busy quirk, but the behaviour of bit 5 (UART_LCR_SPAR) differs between IP versions 3.00a and 3.14c per the docs. On older versions this caused the check to fail and it would repeatedly force idle and rewrite the LCR register, causing delays and preventing any input from serial being received. This is fixed by masking out UART_LCR_SPAR before making the comparison.
