Clearing FIFOs in RS485 emulation mode causes subsequent transmits to break

Browse Source 
commit 2bed8a8e70 upstream.

When in RS485 emulation mode, __do_stop_tx_rs485() calls
serial8250_clear_fifos().  This not only clears the FIFOs, but also sets
all bits in their control register (UART_FCR) to 0.

One of the effects of this is the disabling of the FIFOs, which turns
them into single-byte holding registers.  The rest of the driver doesn't
know this, which results in the lions share of characters passed into a
write call to be dropped.

(I can supply logic analyzer screenshots if necessary)

This fix replaces the serial8250_clear_fifos() call to
serial8250_clear_and_reinit_fifos() - this prevents the "dropped
characters" issue from manifesting again while retaining the requirement
of clearing the RX FIFO after transmission if the SER_RS485_RX_DURING_TX
flag is disabled.
