Current FIFO handling code does not reset RXFE/RXFF flags when guest
resets FIFO by writing to UARTLCR register, although internal FIFO state
is reset to 0 read count. Actual guest-visible flag update will happen
only on next data read or write attempt. As a result of that any guest
that expects RXFE flag to be set (and RXFF to be cleared) after resetting
FIFO will never see that happen.

Should this really be resetting all the other flags to 0 ?
I think we should set/clear only the FIFO related flags, and
leave the others alone. We don't yet implement the
modem-status signals, but if/when we ever do, clearing them
would be the wrong thing here.

(Reset still needs to reset all the flag register bits.)


Right, i thought about it, but as you mention we only use FIFO flags currently. Still, your suggestion about future changes makes sense.



thanks
