[PATCH v3 2/2] serial: sh-sci: Fix deadlock during RSCI FIFO overrun error

From: Biju

Date: Fri Nov 14 2025 - 05:13:56 EST


From: Biju Das <biju.das.jz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

On RSCI IP, a deadlock occurs during a FIFO overrun error, as it uses a
different register to clear the FIFO overrun error status.

Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxx
Fixes: 0666e3fe95ab ("serial: sh-sci: Add support for RZ/T2H SCI")

v2->v3:
* Dropped overrun_clr from struct sci_port_params_bits
* All of the CFCLR_*C clearing bits match the corresponding
CSR_*status bits. So, reused the overrun mask for irq clearing.
v1->v2:
* Split the fixes patches from original series.
