19.5.1.6 Interrupt Identification Register (IIR) - UART Mode
The UART interrupt identification register (IIR) is a read-only register that provides the source of the
interrupt. The UART interrupt identification register (IIR) is shown in Figure 19-39 and described in
Table 19-35.
NOTE: An interrupt source can be flagged only if enabled in the IER register.
