+ /* Serial over Lan (SoL) hack:
+ Intel 8257x Gigabit ethernet chips have a
+ 16550 emulation, to be used for Serial Over Lan.
+ Those chips take a longer time than a normal
+ serial device to signalize that a transmission
+ data was queued. Due to that, the above test generally
+ fails. One solution would be to delay the reading of
+ iir. However, this is not reliable, since the timeout
+ is variable. So, let's just don't test if we receive
+ TX irq. This way, we'll never enable UART_BUG_TXEN.
