I don't understand this yet, but I guess this is just a matter of
improving the commit log. How does the endless irq happen?

... some time later after thinking and reading the driver source ...

Hmm, when the OR event is triggered the handler does

imx_uart_writel(sport, USR2_ORE, USR2);

and so clears the event. I would expect that this should be good enough
to prevent an irq storm even if the receiver is disabled. Doesn't acking
work with the receiver disabled?

Best regards
Uwe
