Commit 717f3bbab3,
'serial_core: Fix conditional start_tx on ring buffer not empty'
exposes an incorrect assumption in several drivers' start_tx methods;
the tx ring buffer can, in fact, be empty when restarting tx while
performing flow control.
Affected drivers:
sunsab.c
ip22zilog.c
pmac_zilog.c
sunzilog.c
m32r_sio.c
imx.c
Other in-tree serial drivers either are not affected or already
test for empty tx ring buffer before transmitting.
Test for empty tx ring buffer in start_tx() method, after transmitting
x_char (if applicable).

If IGNBRK is set without either BRKINT or PARMRK set, some uart
drivers send a 0x00 byte for BREAK without the TTYBREAK flag to the
line discipline, when it should send either nothing or the TTYBREAK flag
set. This happens because the read_status_mask masks out the BI
condition, which uart_insert_char() then interprets as a normal 0x00 byte.
SUS v3 is clear regarding the meaning of IGNBRK; Section 11.2.2, General
Terminal Interface - Input Modes, states:
"If IGNBRK is set, a break condition detected on input shall be ignored;
that is, not put on the input queue and therefore not read by any
process."
Fix read_status_mask to include the BI bit if IGNBRK is set; the
lsr status retains the BI bit if a BREAK is recv'd, which is
subsequently ignored in uart_insert_char() when masked with the
ignore_status_mask.

The serial drivers are really just tty drivers, so move them to
drivers/tty/ to make things a bit neater overall.
This is part of the tty/serial driver movement proceedure as proposed by
Arnd Bergmann and approved by everyone involved a number of months ago.
