cpm_uart non-console problem with write on 2nd open..

I'm experiencing a problem with the 2.6.13 cpm_uart driver. When opening=
  =

the device for the second time after the driver was inserted, if only a =
 =

few bytes are sent for transmission and the device is then closed, the  =

tx_empty routine called by shutdown returns 0 and the latter hangs in th=
e  =

while loop with the call to cpm_uart_tx_empty. No bytes are actually  =

transmitted from the uart.

I found out that the difference between the first and subsequent open  =

calls is that during the first time (and until the first shutdown) the  =

transmitter is enabled in GSMRL. From this point on, the transmitter is =
 =

initially disabled on startup. Thus, if only a few bytes are queued for =
 =

transmission before shutdown and a TX interrupt is not triggered, the  =

bytes are never sent, and thus the shutdown function hangs on the  =

cpm_uart_tx_empty loop.

The fix that works for me is the following:

Any comments would be greatly appreciated
