Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] serial: sh-sci: Skip TDxE clear when hardware clears it automatically
Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2026 11:23:35 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261026-g2ul_sci-v3-3-b3097163edd5@bp.renesas.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261026-g2ul_sci-v3-0-b3097163edd5@bp.renesas.com>
From: Au Dang <au.dang.jx@renesas.com>
On some SCI variants, the TDxE (Transmit Data Empty) flag in SCxSR is
cleared by hardware when data is written to TDR. Clearing it again from
software via clear_SCxSR() generates a spurious TXI interrupt, causing
the last character to be transmitted twice.
Add a tdxe_auto_clear flag to struct sci_of_data, propagate it to struct
sci_port as has_tdxe_auto_clear, and skip the clear_SCxSR() call in
sci_transmit_chars() and sci_poll_put_char() when it is set. Enable the
flag for the PORT_SCI (of_sci_sci) variant.

v2->v3:
* Added missing has_tdxe_auto_clear init in scix_early_console_setup().
v1->v2:
* Updated commit header and description.
* Replaced the PORT_SCI check with a has_tdxe_auto_clear flag in
struct sci_port, set from the new tdxe_auto_clear field in
struct sci_of_data.
