The following series fixes a number of bugs in the DMA handling of
the i.MX serial driver. Those were uncovered when the driver enabled
DMA also without hardware flow control being present in kernel 4.1.

This has since been reverted, but the bugs turned out to be generic
and after fixing them it should now be safe to re-enable DMA support
for all use cases.

I've CC'ed a couple of people that reported problems with kernel 4.1
in the hope that they could provide some testing coverage. The driver
should now work reliably with or without an external SDMA firmware
being loaded.

Thanks to Jiada Wang for testing a preliminary version of this series
and providing valuable feedback.

Regards,
Lucas
