[PATCH 1/1] tty: serial: fsl_lpuart: optimize the timer based EOP logic

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



At low baud rates, the DMA transfer may end prematurely due to the timer,
even during an active transfer. This does not accurately simulate an EOP
event as intended. We expect the timer to only complete a DMA transfer
once the idle period satisfies a specified interval.

The patch checks the DMA residue count before copying data to the TTY
buffer. If the residue count remains unchanged since the last interrupt,
that indicates no new data was received. In this case, the DMA should
complete as an EOP event. Instead, the timer restarts.
