Error messages such as "unable to pause > DMA transfer" shouldn't be printed for them. It is _required_ to pause the DMA engine at this point, as we need to read characters via PIO.

So, dmaengine_pause() is a requirement for PL011. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-serial" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
