[ Upstream commit e368cc656fd6d0075f1c3ab9676e2001451e3e04 ]

pl011_set_termios() briefly resets the CR register to zero, thereby
glitching DTR/RTS signals.  With rs485 this may result in the bus being
occupied for no reason.

Where does this register write originate from?

The PL011 driver was forked from the PL010 driver in 2004:
https://git.kernel.org/history/history/c/157c0342e591

Until this commit, the PL010 driver's IRQ handler ambauart_int()
modified the CR register without holding the port spinlock.

ambauart_set_termios() also modified that register.  To prevent
concurrent read-modify-writes by the IRQ handler and to prevent
transmission while changing baudrate, ambauart_set_termios() had to
disable interrupts.  On the PL010, that is achieved by writing zero to
the CR register.

However, on the PL011, interrupts are disabled in the IMSC register,
not in the CR register.

Additionally, the commit amended both the PL010 and PL011 driver to
acquire the port spinlock in the IRQ handler, obviating the need to
disable interrupts in ->set_termios().

So the CR register write is obsolete for two reasons.  Drop it.
