From ee3ad90be5ec5e94a45aac597a23b1050cd4f1b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Hurley Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2015 21:11:31 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] serial: 8250: Defer interrupt enable until fifos enabled An already-active sender can swamp the interrupt handler with "too much work" if the rx interrupts are enabled when the fifo is disabled and operating in single-byte mode. Defer rx and line status interrupt enable until after the fifos are enabled in set_termios(), but at least initialize the shadow IER value with the interrupts which will be enabled.
