I just noticed this causes the following regression in Linux next when
pressing a key on uart console after boot at least on omap3. This seems
to happen on serial_port_in(port, UART_RX) in the quirk handling.

Vignesh, it seems this quirk needs some soc specific flag added to
it maybe? Or maybe UART_OMAP_RX_LVL register is not available for
all the SoCs?

I think it's best to drop this patch until the issues are resolved,
also there are some open comments above that might be answered by
limiting this quirk to a specific range of SoCs :)

Regards,

Tony
