[PATCH v4 4/4] serial: 8250_dw: fix PSLVERR on RX_TIMEOUT
From: Yunhui Cui
Date: Fri Apr 25 2025 - 02:25:20 EST
In the case of RX_TIMEOUT, to avoid PSLVERR, disable the FIFO
before reading UART_RX when UART_LSR_DR is not set.
Fixes: 424d79183af0 ("serial: 8250_dw: Avoid "too much work" from bogus rx timeout interrupt")
