Mainline omap-serial does not support DMA (evident from lack of
dmaengine API calls) and therefore is not a regression. So OMAP3 UART
DMA was never tested at least with 8250 driver.
I am not sure enabling UART DMA on OMAP3 would be a trivial job. We need
analyse of whether all erratas workarounds are implemented and see if
there any difference wrt DMA integration itself. Do we know if UART DMA
ever worked on OMAP3 previously?
