[PATCH 5.10 414/452] serial: pch: dont overwrite xmit->buf[0] by x_char

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@xxxxxxx>

commit d9f3af4fbb1d955bbaf872d9e76502f6e3e803cb upstream.

When x_char is to be sent, the TX path overwrites whatever is in the
circular buffer at offset 0 with x_char and sends it using
pch_uart_hal_write(). I don't understand how this was supposed to work
if xmit->buf[0] already contained some character. It must have been
lost.

Remove this whole pop_tx_x() concept and do the work directly in the
callers. (Without printing anything using dev_dbg().)
