description:
At least KuroBox Classic and HG seem to have buggy UART, for which
ETXRDY interrupts are sometimes (once per a few hours?) lost; TX stalls
until next RX arrives.

Since interrupt-based I/O works just fine for other devices, I believe
this problem is due to UART and not to PIC or its driver.

In order to work around this bug, enable COM_HW_BROKEN_ETXRDY bit, as
well as carry out polling once per 10 sec or 1k tics (arbitrary, but
1 min seems too long).

XXX
Apply this for other MPC824x-based boards?
