libpayload: ipq808x: stale interrupt shall not be cleared unconditionally
The serial driver hangs in cases when FIFO has more than single word to be processed. Easiest way to reproduce is to paste a string of greater than 4 characters in cli.
Clearing the RXSTALE interrupt without draining all the characters from FIFO leads to the issue as the driver is dependent on msm_boot_uart_dm_read function to reinitialize for next transfer.
Logically the driver is organized in such a manner that next transfer never gets initiated till rx_data_read < total_rx_data. Clearing the RXSTALE without consideration of total number of characters (or words) unprocessed makes the msm_boot_uart_dm_read to return on the first if conditional. Thus the driver is stuck forever.
A quick fix is to avoid clearing the stale interrupt. Reset is handled whenever a new transfer is initialized in msm_boot_uart_dm_init_rx_transfer.
BUG=chrome-os-partner:29542 TEST=manual -Paste a string greater than 4 characters in cli.
