The Fintek F81532A/534A/535/536 family relies on the
F81534A_CTRL_CMD_ENABLE_PORT (116h) register during initialization to
both determine serial port status and control port creation. If the
driver experiences fast load/unload cycles, the device state may becomes
unstable, resulting in the incomplete generation of serial ports.

Performing a dummy read operation on the register prior to the initial
write command resolves the issue. This clears the device's stale internal
state. Subsequent write operations will correctly generate all serial
ports.

Tested on: HygonDM1SLT(Hygon C86 3250 8-core Processor)

Changelog:
v2:
1. remove loop in accessor function.
Thanks for verifying.

Did you try removing the retry loop also in the set_register() helper?
Perhaps that's no longer needed after the dummy read.

I will try removing the retry loop in set_register() helper.
If that worked, could I use the same patch file or series of patches?

Thanks,
