Ideally, as comments indicate, the set_termios should have done stop_rx 
at begin and start_rx at end to take care of this issue.

This is probably missing in your driver. Can we check if this can be 
fixed? OR other option is

Add a start_rx in uart_resume_port after call to set_termios to handle 
this scenario for other drivers.

Please let me know if there are any concerns for this options.

Thank you.
