[PATCH v2 1/1] serial: 8250: Turn IER bits on only after irq has been set up

[Ilpo Järvinen]

Invoking TIOCVHANGUP on 8250_mid port and then reopening the port
triggers these faults during serial8250_do_startup():

  DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 3
  DMAR: [DMA Write NO_PASID] Request device [00:1a.0] fault addr 0x0 [fault reason 0x05] PTE Write access is not set

The cause is a DMA write to the address in MSI address register that
was zeroed during the hangup as the irq was freed. The writes are
triggered due signalling an interrupt during the THRE test that
temporarily toggles THRI in IER. The THRE test currently occurs before
UART's irq (and MSI address) is properly set up.

Refactor serial8250_do_startup() such that irq is set up before the
THRE test. The current irq setup code is intermixed with the timer
setup code. As THRE test must be performed prior to the timer setup,
extract it into own function and call it only after the THRE test.
