Apart from the comments below,

1. How do you deal with transmitting the high-priority XON/XOFF
     characters (port->x_char) which occur with s/w flow control and
     the tty buffers fill up?
2. How do you deal with flow control in general?  IOW, what happens
     when the remote end deasserts your CTS with h/w flow control enabled.
If the remote end deasserts my CTS, it means the remote will not send any data.

My DMA for RX will expire in the following steps:
[1] the UART only waits for 32 bytes time long
[2] the UART triggers an IDLE Condition Detect DMA.
[3] the dma_rx_callback() will release the DMA for Rx.

     How does your end deal with sending RTS according to flow control
     conditions?

If a CTS is received after we sent out a RTS, it will follow the steps:
 imx_int() --> imx_rtsint() --> uart_handle_cts_change() -->start_tx()

The start_tx() will create an TX DMA operation, and send out the data.

The UART uses the DMA for RX/TX with the hardware flow control (RTS/CTS)
enabled all the time.
Your answer is too vague.  Please try again.

If we use the software flow control(XON/XOFF), we should not enable the DMA.
I think i should add more comments about this issue.

For example:
The MX6Q arm2 has two uarts, one with the DMA disabled is used for debug,
the other one with the DMA/RTS.CTS enabled can be used for the Bluetooth.

Why do you need a work struct to deal with DMA?

The uart uses the SDMA (drivers/dma/imx-sdma.c). And the SDMA may
schedule out in :
sdma_prep_slave_sg() -->  sdma_load_contex() -->sdma_run_channel() .
It should not.  prep_slave_sg() must be callable from atomic contexts.

the Documentation/dmaengine.txt does not explicitly force all the dma engine driver
to do so.

Add more comments for it in Documentation/dmaengine.txt?
This callback is called from IRQ context, with all the IRQ disabled. see:
sdma_int_handler() -->mxc_sdma_handle_channel() -->
mxc_sdma_handle_channel_normal()
-->  .callback().
That's a bug in your dmaengine driver.

OK, it's really a bug in the sdma driver.
thanks.
