Hi Rasmus,
I am afraid this is not right, USR2_TXDC is just a flag, it is not affected by whether UCR4_TCEN is set or not, UCR4_TCEN only determines if USR2_TXDC flag can generate a interrupt or not.
I tried on imx8mp-evk board, for rs232, sport->tx_state can get set to OFF even we don’t set UCR4_TCEN.

Best Regards
Sherry
