[PATCH 2/5] serial: stm32: update PIO transmission

From: Erwan Le Ray
Date: Tue Jun 18 2019 - 06:08:02 EST


Improves PIO transmission:
- Replaces the FIFO filling per character by a filling per blocks of
characters, which provides better performances
- Replaces the active waiting loop by TX empty interrupt dynamic handling.
TXE interrupt is now enabled when data has to be sent (ie when
uart_circ is not empty), and inhibited when there is no more data to
send (ie when uart_circ is empty).
