The error is not a false positive on S3C platforms, but a real error.
The existing code did not handle missing TX IRQ but at least printed a
message.  Your change hides the message.

The real problem here is a missing error handling for TX interrupt.
Solving this one, would solve also false-positive error message on newer
SoCs.
