I don't think this is good thing for the stable _and_ for the mainline at the
same time:
in stable the rx DMA should not be allowed since the stable kernels does not
allow pause/resume with omap-dma, so there the rx DMA should be just disabled
for UART. This change will cause regression since it introduce a WARN_ON_ONCE,
which will be printed if the user tries to use non working feature.
In mainline you will eventually going to have pause/resume support so this
patch will make no sense there.
