Prior to the commit that this one fixes, the FIFO size was derived from the read-only register LPUARTx_FIFO[TXFIFOSIZE] using the following formula: TX FIFO size = 2 ^ (LPUARTx_FIFO[TXFIFOSIZE] - 1) The documentation for LS1021A is a mess. Under chapter 26.1.3 LS1021A LPUART module special consideration, it mentions TXFIFO_SZ and RXFIFO_SZ being equal to 4, and in the register description for LPUARTx_FIFO, it shows the out-of-reset value of TXFIFOSIZE and RXFIFOSIZE fields as "011", even though these registers read as "101" in reality. And when LPUART on LS1021A was working, the "101" value did correspond to "16 datawords", by applying the formula above, even though the documentation is wrong again (!!!!) and says that "101" means 64 datawords (hint: it doesn't). So the "new" formula created by commitf77ebb241chas all the premises of being wrong for LS1021A, because it relied only on false data and no actual experimentation. Interestingly, in commitc2f448cff2("tty: serial: fsl_lpuart: add LS1028A support"), Michael Walle applied a workaround to this by manually setting the FIFO widths for LS1028A. It looks like the same values are used by LS1021A as well, in fact. When the driver thinks that it has a deeper FIFO than it really has, getty (user space) output gets truncated. Many thanks to Michael for pointing out where to look.

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.
