[PATCH] amba-pl010: clear error flags on rx error

[Lennert Buytenhek]

The pl010 primecell documentation specifies that an error indicated via
RSR should be cleared by a write to ECR.  We didn't do this, which was
causing errors to be re-reported on every call to pl010_rx_chars().

Doing a write to ECR once we detect an error appears to prevent the
ep93xx console UART driver from going into a mode where it reports
"ttyAM0: X input overrun(s)" every couple of keystrokes.
