Ian Jamison 514ab34dba serial: imx: Prevent TX buffer PIO write when a DMA has been started
Function imx_transmit_buffer starts a TX DMA if DMA is enabled, since
commit 91a1a909f9 ("serial: imx: Support sw flow control in DMA mode").
It also carries on and attempts to write the same TX buffer using PIO.
This results in TX data corruption and double-incrementing xmit->tail
with the knock-on effect of tail passing head and a page of garbage
being sent out.

This seems to be triggered mostly when using RS485 half duplex on SMP
systems, but is probably not limited to just those.

Tested locally on an i.MX6Q with an RS485 half duplex transceiver on
UART3, and also by Clemens Gruber.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
