[063/151] Serial: Do not read IIR in serial8250_start_tx when UART_BUG_TXEN

[Greg KH]

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 68cb4f8e246bbbc649980be0628cae9265870a91 upstream.

Do not read IIR in serial8250_start_tx when UART_BUG_TXEN

Reading the IIR clears some oustanding interrupts so it is not safe.
Instead, simply transmit immediately if the buffer is empty without
regard to IIR.
