This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
tty: serial: 8250_omap: do not use RX DMA if pause is not supported
to my tty git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
in the tty-testing branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will be merged to the tty-next branch sometime soon,
after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: tty: serial: 8250_omap: do not use RX DMA if pause is not supported
The 8250-omap driver requires the DMA-engine driver to support the pause
command in order to properly turn off programmed RX transfer before the
driver stars manually reading from the FIFO.
The lacking support of the requirement has been discovered recently. In
order to stay safe here we disable RX-DMA completly on probe.
The rx_dma_broken assignment on probe could be removed once we working
pause function in omap-dma.
