From: Dirk Behme <dirk.behme@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Use imx_start_tx() just to enable the TX interrupt. It's the job of the TX interrupt ISR to fill the transmit buffer, then. If the transmit buffer is empty, the TX interrupt should be executed as soon as the start_tx() enables the interrupt, so there is no reason for the extra imx_transmit_buffer() call, here. Remove it.
