Can you do this as needed based on the FIFO interrupt?

Do you really want to have a udelay on every TX?

How about:

        status = __serial_read_reg(up, UART_LSR);
        while (!(status & UART_LSR_THRE)) {

                if (--tmout == 0)
                        break;

                udelay(1);
                status = __serial_read_reg(up, UART_LSR);
        }
        __serial_write_reg(up, offset, value);

Regards,

Tony
