This patch does the following
- In case of errors if there least one data character in the RX FIFO
read it otherwise it may stall the receiver.

This is recommended in the interrupt reset method in the table 23-246 of
the omap4 TRM.

- Tested on omap4sdp.
- pm tested hitting off in idle and suspend.
- v2 changes update the changelogs.
- Also remove the dummy check as FE , PE , BI and OE are the only
receiver errors.
