[PATCH] ppc32: cpm_uart: fix xchar sending
while using SCC as uart and as serial console at same time I got this:

a easy way to reproduce it is log into the system using ssh and do:
cat >/dev/ttyCPM0
then, switch to minicom and write some stuff on it back to ssh, a control C
produce the oops
this happens because uart_close calls uart_shutdown which frees xmit.buf,
currently used by xchar sending in cpm_uart_tx_pump(), which seems wrong.
the attached patch fixes the oops and also fixes xchar sending.
