 From time to time DMA completion can come in the middle of DMA shutdown:

<process ctx>:				<IRQ>:
lpuart32_shutdown()
   lpuart_dma_shutdown()
     del_timer_sync()
					lpuart_dma_rx_complete()
					  lpuart_copy_rx_to_tty()
					    mod_timer()
     lpuart_dma_rx_free()

When the timer fires a bit later, sport->dma_rx_desc is NULL:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000004
pc : lpuart_copy_rx_to_tty+0xcc/0x5bc
lr : lpuart_timer_func+0x1c/0x2c
Call trace:
  lpuart_copy_rx_to_tty
  lpuart_timer_func
  call_timer_fn
  __run_timers.part.0
  run_timer_softirq
  __do_softirq
  __irq_exit_rcu
  irq_exit
  handle_domain_irq
  gic_handle_irq
  call_on_irq_stack
  do_interrupt_handler
  ...

To fix this fold del_timer_sync() into lpuart_dma_rx_free() after
dmaengine_terminate_sync() to make sure timer will not be re-started in
lpuart_copy_rx_to_tty() <= lpuart_dma_rx_complete().

This should have some Fixes: tag, I believe.

Maybe I'm missing something (I haven't looked into the code), but what happens if the timer ticks here? Won't the dmaengine be restarted there?

+	del_timer_sync(&sport->lpuart_timer);
  	dma_unmap_sg(chan->device->dev, &sport->rx_sgl, 1, DMA_FROM_DEVICE);
