Do you know what the data sheet means when it says that TC
can be cleared by "a read from the USART_SR register followed
by a write to the USART_DR register" ?

If we supported interrupts properly (which we don't seem to)
I suspect we'd need something more than "TXE and TC are always set",
or the guest would probably never clear the TXE and TC interrupts.

The guest can clear the TC and TXE bits by writing to the USART_SR
directly, so this code should set both of them, I think ?

Yep, I agree that the previous reset value was wrong.
