I'm aware of this limitation (and comment) but it's not causing a problem
here since serial8250_rx_dma_flush() does not need to call resume, it
requires only supporting pause + reading the state/status.

It not only stops but keeps claiming it's still not stopped which causes
the problem in 8250 code because 8250 DMA code assumes DMA side returns
the correct status.

In serial8250_rx_dma_flush() 8250 DMA code does this:
dmaengine_pause(dma->rxchan);
__dma_rx_complete(p);
dmaengine_terminate_async(dma->rxchan);
As you can see, __dma_rx_complete() would not take that return when called
from serial8250_rx_dma_flush() if correct DMA_* status would be returned.
The return in __dma_rx_complete() is meant for other paths (as shown in
57e9af7831dc's changelog) but is now currently taken also when called
from serial8250_rx_dma_flush() because pl330 keeps returning
DMA_IN_PROGRESS instead of DMA_PAUSED. Thus, I created this fix.
