From: Shardar Shariff Md <smohammed@xxxxxxxxxx> It is only necessary to read data from the dma buffer when the count value is non-zero and hence, tegra_uart_copy_rx_to_tty() so only be called when this is the case. Although, this was being tested for in two places, there is a third place where this was not tested. However, instead of adding another if-statement prior to calling tegra_uart_copy_rx_to_tty(), move the test inside the function.
