Hi Shijie After apply this patch into our kernel, We are facing data hang issue when sending big size file (2M used in test) to uart port Note: Rx port is also keep receiving data. After read the implementation of uart_stop(), I feel like, stop_tx() is used to perform flow control when like a XOFF is received. Which means no data should be dropped, as they may need to be sent out, When next start_tx() is called. But by calling dmaengine_termiate_all(), the data already be submitted to DMA engine, May be lost, thus cause data hang. What do you think?

The above make the imx_shutdown has to wait the RX/TX DMA to be finished. In order to make code more simple, this patch removes the DMA wait queue. By calling the dmaengine_terminate_all, this patch makes the RX stops immediately after we call the @->stop_rx hook, so does the TX.
