Well, if hardware doesn't have a TX irq I don't see there's anything we can do to fix that ;). Dave, what's your take here? Should we keep a driver from going upstream just because the hardware is partly broken? I'd really prefer to have an upstream driver on that SoC rather than some random (eventually even more broken) downstream code.
