Johan Hovold 63d14d974d serial: qcom-geni: fix polled console corruption
The polled UART operations are used by the kernel debugger (KDB, KGDB),
which can interrupt the kernel at any point in time. The current
Qualcomm GENI implementation does not really work when there is on-going
serial output as it inadvertently "hijacks" the current tx command,
which can result in both the initial debugger output being corrupted as
well as the corruption of any on-going serial output (up to 4k
characters) when execution resumes:

Fix this by making sure that the polled output implementation waits for
the tx fifo to drain before cancelling any on-going longer transfers. As
the polled code cannot take any locks, leave the state variables as they
are and instead make sure that the interrupt handler always starts a new
tx command when there is data in the write buffer.

Since the debugger can interrupt the interrupt handler when it is
writing data to the tx fifo, it is currently not possible to fully
prevent losing up to 64 bytes of tty output on resume.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
