[ Upstream commit a3d8728ab079951741efa11360df43dbfacba7ab ]
At the default TX trigger level of 2 in non-DMA mode (meaning that an interrupt is generated when less than 2 characters are left in the FIFO), we have observed frequent buffer underruns at 115200 Baud on an i.MX8M Nano. This can cause communication issues if the receiving side expects a continuous transfer.
Increasing the level to 8 makes the UART trigger an interrupt earlier, giving the kernel enough time to refill the FIFO, at the cost of triggering one interrupt per ~24 instead of ~30 bytes of transmitted data (as the i.MX UART has a 32 byte FIFO).
