Bye the way just to add bit more clarity, this patch addresses TX
hardware restriction in the new UART IP used on omap3630 and omap4430.
First part of the fix for RX is already in mainline,
Commit: "ce13d4716a276f4331d78ba28a5093a63822ab95"

> OMAP3630 and OMAP4430 UART IP blocks have a restriction on TX FIFO
> too. If you try to write to the tx fifo when it is full, the system aborts.
> 
> This can be easily reproducible by not suppressing interconnect errors or
> long duration testing where continuous prints over console from multiple
> threads. This patch is addressing the issue by ensuring that write is
> not issued while fifo is full. A timeout is added to avoid any hang
> on fifo-full for 10 mS which is unlikely case.
> 
> Patch is validated on OMAP3630 and OMAP4 SDP.
> 
> V2 version removed the additional 1 uS on every TX as per
> Tony's suggestion
