8250 regression: infinite interrupts

[Jiri Slaby]

Hi,

the commit below causes infinite interrupts to be generated on some
chips. Namely on IBM x3850 M2.

commit 235dae5d094c415fcf0fc79fa637f1901bc8afe2
Author: Philippe Langlais <philippe.langlais@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

    U6715 16550A serial driver support

The culprit is the added size_fifo call proper in autoconfig_16550a. It
returns 16, but the chip is confused by what the function does at that
point. It is yet to be investigated why. Any ideas at this stage why
this could be a problem?

thanks,
