From 8aebfde6e84dceb7d47fe8001e50b754eb45d5df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Gassner Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2026 08:05:39 +0200 Subject: serial: tegra: don't clear the Tx FIFO on an Rx-only reset tegra_uart_fifo_reset() applies the Tegra30 workaround for "cannot clear the Tx FIFO while FIFO mode is enabled" unconditionally: it leaves FIFO mode, writes the requested FCR clear bits, and re-enters FIFO mode. Leaving FIFO mode empties both FIFOs, so an Rx-only reset discards queued Tx data as well. The break handler in tegra_uart_decode_rx_error() calls it with UART_FCR_CLEAR_RCVR only. On a half-duplex RS485 board whose Rx line is pulled low while the transceiver drives the bus, every transmission raises a spurious break, and all but the first character of the frame is lost. Only take the FIFO-mode path when the caller actually asked for CLEAR_XMIT. Likewise only wait for TEMT in that case: with the Tx FIFO deliberately left intact, that loop would otherwise spin for a full frame time in hard IRQ context with the port lock held. Tested on a Colibri T30 (Tegra30) with Rx DMA: - Break during transmission: the reset still fires from tegra_uart_decode_rx_error(), and the complete frame now reaches the peer. Before this change only the character in the shift register was sent. - Internal loopback with a generated break: the Rx FIFO is correctly cleared by the plain FCR write, and subsequent receive works with no frame, parity or overrun errors.
