Dear All,

> As a result the serial port IP block is reset, so transmitted data is

> This patch prevents from this situation, by avoiding

> twice).

After some excessive testing it turned out that this patch is not
behaving as expected.
Please drop it. I will find another, better solution for this issue.
Sorry for trouble.
