Subject: [PATCH] 8250: fix break handling for Intel 82571

[ Upstream commit 7500b1f602aad75901774a67a687ee985d85893f ]

Intel 82571 has a "Serial Over LAN" feature that doesn't properly
implements the receiving of break characters. When a break is received,
it doesn't set UART_LSR_DR and unless another character is received, the
break won't be received by the application.
