[PATCH] serial: mvebu_uart: fix tx lost characters

[Gabriel Matni]

From: Gabriel Matni <gabriel.matni at exfo.com>

Fixes missing characters on kernel console at low baud rates (i.e.9600).
The driver should poll TX_RDY instead of TX_EMPTY to ensure that the
transmitter holding is ready to receive a new byte. Polling TX_EMPTY isn't
enough as the hardware buffer can become empty but not yet ready for CPU to
write the next byte.
