(1) This patch set adds the DMA support for the imx serial driver.
The uart with the dma support is usually used by the Bluetooth.
For the firmware's limit, i only enable the DMA for imx6 serials.
If we have proper firmware for imx53 (or other chips), we can also
enable the DMA for it.
(2) We only enable the DMA support when the following are meet:
[1] The uart port supports the hardware flow control(CTS/RTS).
(Some uart port does not support the CTS/RTS.)
[2] The application enables the CTS/RTS.
[3] The Soc is imx6 serials.
For the sdma's firmware limit, we do not support the DMA except
the imx6 platform.
[4] The uart is not used as a console.
(3) Tested this patch set by:
connecting a imx6q-arm2 board(DTE) with a imx53 board(DCE).
v3 --> v4:
[0] add DTE pad for uart2
v2 --> v3:
[0] add a new patch to fix the RTS/CTS pad name issue.
[1] rename the uart DTE pinctrl, remove the "dte" from the pinctrl.
[2] add a similar UART DTE pinctrl for IMX6DL.
[3] move the "fsl,imx6q-uart" to the first of the compatible table.
v1 --> v2:
[0] use the "fsl,imx6q-uart" as the new compatible value.
[1] move dma_is_inited to imx_uart_dma_init();
move dma_is_enabled to imx_enable_dma();
[2] move imx_disable_dma() to the front place of the imx_shutdown(),
just before calls the imx_uart_dma_exit().
[3] misc
