1. Bit 0=1 as long as there is one byte in the RCVR FIFO.
2. 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.
3. Bit 5 indicates when the XMIT FIFO is empty.
4. Bit 6 indicates that both the XMIT FIFO and shift register are empty.
5. Bit 7 indicates whether there are any errors in the RCVR FIFO.
There is no trigger level reached or time-out condition indicated in the FIFO Polled Mode, however, the RCVR and
XMIT FIFOs are still fully capable of holding characters.

*DLAB is Bit 7 of the Line Control Register (ADDR = 3).
Note 1:
Bit 0 is the least significant bit. It is the first bit serially transmitted or received.
Note 2:
When operating in the XT mode, this bit will be set any time that the transmitter shift register is empty.
