Interrupt handler checked THRE bit (transmitter holding register empty) in LSR to detect if TX fifo is empty. In case when there is only receive interrupts the TX handling got called because THRE bit in LSR is set when there is no transmission (FIFO empty). TX handling caused TX stop, which in RS-485 half-duplex mode actually resets receiver FIFO. This is not desired during reception because of possible data loss. The fix is to check if THRI is set in IER in addition of the TX fifo status. THRI in IER is set when TX is started and cleared when TX is stopped. This ensures that TX handling is only called when there is really transmission on going and an interrupt for THRE and not when there are only RX interrupts.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
