I wan't trying to be difficult, just looking for next steps.  I  
replied to your initial suggestion but never heard back on what to  
try or do going forward.

Can you explain further why you had to change wait_for_xmitr() from  
testing BOTH_EMPTY to UART_LSR_THRE.

Also, what exactly would you be looking for in a register dump?
