When use pio mode, there have two issues can be observed:
- In the commit f2ee6df "serial/amba-pl011: Leave the TX IRQ alone when the UART is not open", it will skip clearing the TX IRQ across pl011_shutdown() and pl011_startup(); So at the next time after the uart port has been opened, there have chance for the function pl011_tx_chars() will not be executed if the TX IRQ will not be triggered; finally the console cannot output anymore.
This is caused by the uart FIFO still keep data rather than the threshold. So revert this patch to make sure every time open the uart port, it will force to call function pl011_tx_chars().
- Sometimes will output the duplicate chars. Function pl011_tx_char() will firstly send char and check if FIFO is full, and if the FIFO is full it will return false; Caller function will consider the char has _NOT_ been send out and resend it again, finally will send the duplicate chars. So change to check FIFO is full or not, if full then return false, otherwise send out char and return true.
