This will break serial output for the userspace on my board
(arch/arm/boot/dts/lan966x-kontron-kswitch-d10-mmt*dts). The uart_port_tx()
helper will call __port->ops->stop_tx(__port) if uart_circ_chars_pending()
returns 0. But the code above, doesn't do that. In fact, removing the
stop_tx() call in the helper macro, will fix the console output.

Any ideas how to fix that?
