I confirm that this patch fixes the issue when DMA is enabled.
I also confirm that your other patch
> + stop_delay = p->port.frame_time + DIV_ROUND_UP(p->port.frame_time, 7);
fixes the issue with RTS/DriverEnable deassertion time.
I've tested it again at 19200e1 and now RTS is deasserted
approximately at the same time as the end of the stop bit.
Please, note the "e" for even parity bit, that extra bit after the
data byte might have an impact on this timings.
Regards,
Vicente.
