This patch introduces an issue for me an embedded PowerPC SoC using the
8250 driver.

The simple description of my issue is this: I'm using the serial port for
both a terminal and console.  I run fdisk on a /dev/hda.  Before this
patch I would get the prompt for fdisk immediately. After this patch I
have to hit return before the prompt is displayed.

I know that's not a lot of info, but just let me know what else you need
to help debug this.

I'm guessing something about the UARTs on the PowerPC maybe bit a little
non-standard.

I wonder if I've swapped one race for another. Can you revert just the
line which forces THRI on and test with the rest of the change please.

This doesn't seem to help.
