Bits 1 to 4 specify which error(s) have occurred. Character error status is handled the same way as
when in the interrupt mode, the IIR is not affected since EIR bit 2=0.
Bit 5 indicates when the XMIT FIFO is empty.
Bit 6 indicates that both the XMIT FIFO and shift register are empty.
Bit 7 indicates whether there are any errors in the RCVR FIFO.
There is no trigger level reached or timeout condition indicated in the FIFO Polled Mode, however, the
RCVR and XMIT FIFOs are still fully capable of holding characters.
