Subject: serial: 8250: Check UART_SCR is writable

From: Peter Hurley <[email protected]>

commit f01a0bd8921b9d6668d41fae3198970e6318f532 upstream.

Au1x00/RT2800+ doesn't implement the 8250 scratch register (and this may be true of other h/w currently supported by the 8250 driver); read back the canary value written to the scratch register to enable the console h/w restart after resume from system suspend.
