Lukas Wunner ed78350047 serial: pl010: Drop CR register reset on set_termios
[ Upstream commit 08a0c6dff91c965e39905cf200d22db989203ccb ]

pl010_set_termios() briefly resets the CR register to zero.

Where does this register write come from?

The PL010 driver's IRQ handler ambauart_int() originally modified the CR
register without holding the port spinlock.  ambauart_set_termios() also
modified that register.  To prevent concurrent read-modify-writes by the
IRQ handler and to prevent transmission while changing baudrate,
ambauart_set_termios() had to disable interrupts.  That is achieved by
writing zero to the CR register.

However in 2004 the PL010 driver was amended to acquire the port
spinlock in the IRQ handler, obviating the need to disable interrupts in
->set_termios():

That rendered the CR register write obsolete.  Drop it.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
