Ok.

FWIW,

For omap this would just be:

	serial_out(up, UART_FCR, UART_FCR_CLEAR_RCVR | UART_FCR_CLEAR_XMIT);

In any event, the fifo enable/disable is probably not happening since
FIFO_EN is ignored unless the divisor == 0.

omap doesn't really need the legacy irq chain handling; this could just be
request_irq().

In the 8250 split I'll be posting soon, all the irq chaining and
polling-via-timeout workarounds stays in the universal/legacy driver so
other 8250 drivers can opt-out.

None of this is required because there is no OUT2 on omap.

None of this is required because none of the probing is taking place.
