[PATCH 1/2 bugfix] serial: imx: reset the uart port all the time

[Huang Shijie]

Current code resets the uart port only when it supports the irda mode.
In actually, we also need to reset the uart port in the non-irda mode.
A hang was caught in the following case:

    UART A transmits data to the other end. But the transmission maybe
    terminated. In some corner case, the TX FIFO maybe not empty.

The kernel will hang at the imx_set_termios():
	............................................................
	while (!(readl(sport->port.membase + USR2) & USR2_TXDC))
		barrier();
	............................................................

This patch resets the uart port all the time in the imx_startup().
And fix the hang.
