The main goal of the series is to fix the DW DMAC driver to be working better with the serial 8250 device driver implementation. In particular it was discovered that there is a random system freeze (caused by a deadlock) and an occasional "BUG: XFER bit set, but channel not idle" error printed to the log when the DW APB UART interface is used in conjunction with the DW DMA controller. Although I guess the problem can be found for any 8250 device using DW DMAC for the Tx/Rx-transfers execution. Anyway this short series contains two patches fixing these bugs. Please see the respective patches log for details.
