Tested on Trats2 (Exynos4412 with pl330, serial output on ttySAC2).
Patchset fixes the reported issue (hang after applying "ARM: dts:
exynos4: add DMA support for serial ports" [0]).

However with [0] dmatest cannot execute tests on dma0 channels. Just
silently passes but does not execute memcpy on any of dma0 channels.
I wonder why... the serial ports use only some of dma0 channels, not all
of them.

Any ideas?
