Depending on the hardware, TX and RX FIFOs may be available. The RX
FIFO can avoid receive overruns, especially when DMA transfers are
not used to read data from the Receive Holding Register. For heavy
system load, The CPU is likely not be able to fetch data fast enough
from the RHR.

This patch broke avr32 console (as seen in today's linux-next) on ATNGW100.
Reverting helps. I'm pretty sure the issue is in 8 bit vs. 32 bit I/O access.

Do you, guys, have that board (NGW100) or it's officially unsupported?
If the latter is the case I would really appreciate if you remove the
support from the kernel side.

The main issue here is that the main atmel arm developers don't have
access to any avr32 board. I'd say that everything that is done is best
effort to not break avr32 but it is not tested at all.

Don't hesitate to submit patches when something breaks...
