serial: PL011: clear pending interrupts
Chanho Min reported that when the boot loader transfers control to the kernel, there may be pending interrupts causing the UART to lock up in an eternal loop trying to pick tokens from the FIFO (since the RX interrupt flag indicates there are tokens) while in practice there are no tokens - in fact there is only a pending IRQ flag. This patch address the issue with a combination of two patches suggested by Russell King that clears and mask all interrupts at probe() and clears any pending error and RX interrupts at port startup time. We suspect the spurious interrupts are a side-effect of switching the UART from FIFO to non-FIFO mode.
