Summary

Armada38X was affected with bug, causing multiple spurious interrupts to occur.
Solution required modification of DTS file - UART device's interrupts should be
triggered with edge instead of level.

I have same problem with Tegra UART (it's also ns8250 based) , not yet identified. Are you sure that this is really bug in Armada38X chipset or we have bug in UART driver?

I'm not sure, but I found no other solution, even though I spent quite a lot of time investigating that. There are other platforms in tree (like rk3188) that use the same UART driver (with GIC, which sets default trigger to level) and don't seem to be affected, so I assume it is specific to A38X.

Does changing interrupt trigger makes any difference in your case?

I hope that r295557 fixes spurious interrupt issues on all ns8250 based UARTs. Can you test it also on Armada 38x?
