Yeah I saw that too, never really came around to look closer into it.

Thanks for looking into it.

You removed the check whether there was an old configuration, I think
the idea of that was that we only resize DMA if it was configured
differently before... Not sure how startup/set_termios calls are
ordered. I guess in practice that shouldn't really make a difference
since lpuart_dma_rx_use can't be true until after startup?

One nit below.

No need to set to true here, it is guaranteed to be true at this point.
