I see that but was under the impression cvs diff did that so all lines
lineup correctly whether they have a +, -, or neither. It doesn't affect
applying the patches for me, did you try?

Yes, we have a regshift of 2 on this SoC and it could be different on other
SoCs which reuse the UART IP.

It's just a dummy read to ensure that any writes which clear interrupts have
reached the device before returning from the IRQ.

OK, moved onto same line.

Good point. I didn't write that one and assumed reading the IIR was part of the fix.
It just tested fine without it so it's gone.

Our regshift is definitely 2 on this SoC and we don't have any problems with
console output before the serial driver opens. So assuming it's using
8250_early.c for initial console output I can only conclude that it works
because UART_TX is offset 0 and the port was left configured from our
ROM monitor.

I have it, I forgot to respin against the master.

OK, I picked 'data'.

Will do. I noticed that the other non-standard value UART_IIR_TOD 0x08 is with
the Xscale stuff so I followed suit.
