[PATCH v2][bfin-sport-uart] Walk around RX underflow hardwareissue in 32-bit SPORT RX reading

From: sonic zhang
Date: Mon Sep 21 2009 - 00:11:26 EST


If another interrupt fires while doing a 32-bit read from RX FIFO,
a fake RX underflow error will be generated. So disable interrupts
to prevent interruption while reading the FIFO.
