Subject: [PATCH] tty: serial: qcom_geni_serial: Remove interrupt storm

Disable M_TX_FIFO_WATERMARK_EN after we've sent all data for a given
transaction so we don't continue to receive a flurry of free space
interrupts while waiting for the M_CMD_DONE notification. Re-enable the
watermark when establishing the next transaction.

Also clear the watermark interrupt after filling the FIFO so we do not
receive notification again prior to actually having free space.

I notice other places that turn on the watermark only do so if
"xfer_mode == GENI_SE_FIFO". ...but it looks as if the mode is always
FIFO mode, so you should be fine. Probably the right thing to do is
that someone should do a future patch to kill all the "if xfer_mode ==
GENI_SE_FIFO" stuff and if/when someone wants to add DMA then they can
do it from scratch.

Worth a comment saying that the watermark is "level-triggered and
latched" so it's obvious why it's not a race (because it will just
re-assert itself) and also why we need to ACK it at the end of the
function (because it'll keep re-latching itself until you put
something in the FIFO)?

I think you should change this (and probably the other write to
irq_en) to a read/modify/write rather than using the value you read at
the top of the function. Specifically there are enough helper
functions called that might also be touching irq_en and I'd be worried
that the value you read at the top of the function might not be truth
anymore. I also wonder if it's worth an "if" test to only do the
writel_relaxed() if the value wasn't already right since sometimes IO
writes can be slow.

If I followed the code correctly, doing the read/modify/write actually
might matter. The code calls qcom_geni_serial_stop_tx() which _does_
modify irq_en. Then the code does "goto out_write_wakeup" where it'll
clobber qcom_geni_serial_stop_tx()'s modifications.

Unrelated to everything else in this patch, but seems OK to me.
