It would be clear to people rather familiar with the chip, but I agree
it's probably not that clear of a name.

We have two UART blocks we use in the MSMs, the older one, supported by
this driver before this change, and a newer one that was designed to
work with our DMA engine (known as the Data Mover, or dm).  This newer
UART can be used in a somewhat compatible manner when being used for
serial-port type operations.

I'm not sure what would be a better name for the flag, though.  The
block is called UARTDM.
