Each UART ISC register contains

Bit7 MSM(Modem Status) INT enable / disable (Access type RW) not use
now (0: default)
Bit6 LSM(Line Status) INT  enable / disable  (Access type RW) not use
now(0: default)
Bit5 RXM INT enable / disable  (Access type RW) set this
Bit4 TXM INT enable / disable  (Access type RW) set this

Bit3 MS(Modem Status) INT flag (Access type Read only) not use now (0: default)
Bit2 LS(Line Status) INT flag (Access type Read only) not use now (0: default)
Bit1 RX INT flag (Access type Read only) read this
Bit0 TX INT flag (Access type Read only) read this

sunplus_shutdown()
main purpose is to turn off TX INT(bit4) and RX INT(bit5)
bit7 and bit6 not used, should be 0.
bit3 ~ bit0 read only, no effect while writing 0 to them.
