In reviewing this series, I thought the _OFFSET suffix for every register
address to be excessive. I would refactor all that out; IOW,

-	isrstatus = readl(port->membase + CDNS_UART_ISR_OFFSET);
+	isrstatus = readl(port->membase + CDNS_UART_ISR);

This distribution looks like this exactly because the xchar test is
failing. IOW, this driver isn't performing soft flow control (^S,^Q)
like it should.
