Marek reports, that the -next commit1788cf6a91(tty: serial: switch from circ_buf to kfifo) broke meson_uart and qcom_geni_serial. The commit mistakenly advanced the kfifo twice: once by uart_fifo_get()/kfifo_out() and second time by uart_xmit_advance(). To advance the fifo only once, drop the superfluous uart_xmit_advance() from both. To count the TX statistics properly, use uart_fifo_out() in qcom_geni_serial (meson_uart_start_tx() already uses that). I checked all other uses of uart_xmit_advance() and they appear correct: either they are finishing DMA transfers or are after peek/linear_ptr (i.e. they do not advance fifo).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
