OMAP3xxx and OMAP4430 UART IP blocks have a restriction wrt RX FIFO.
Empty RX fifo read causes an abort.
OMAP3xxx:
UART IP revision >= 0x52 have this issue
MVR register format is:
Bits Field Name Description Type Reset
31:8 RESERVED RO 0x0
7:4 MAJOR Major revision number of the module. RO 0x--
3:0 MINOR Minor revision number of the module. RO 0x--
OMAP4xxx:
All revisions have this issue
Revision id check is not used as the format of MVR resigster has changed
For omap4 MVR register reads as: 0x50410602 => Revision id = 0x0602
Format of MVR register on omap4 is: (Courtesy: Cousson, Benoit)
Bits Field Name Description Type Reset
31:30 SCHEME Scheme revision number of module RO 0x1

Override the default 8250 read handler: mem_serial_in()
by a custom handler: serial_in_8250()
which makes sure that RX fifo is not read when empty
