Hi all.

This is a resend of a patch i submitted a few days ago although with a
mangled formatting. I don't know who maintains the PL011 AMBA driver, so
I hope someone steps up and helps me in bringing this upstream.

There is a problem with the logic of tx_empty in the amba-pl011 serial
port driver. Instead of checking for an empty FIFO it checks for a
not-full FIFO, which - according to Documentation/serial/driver - is
wrong.

Thanks,
        Simon
