[PATCH 1/5] serial: pl011: Allocate TX DMA buffer from DMA capable memory

From: Andrew Jackson <hidden>
Date: 2014-11-07 14:15:12
Also in: linux-serial, lkml
Subsystem: arm primecell uart pl010 and pl011 drivers, the rest, tty layer and serial drivers · Maintainers: Russell King, Linus Torvalds, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Jiri Slaby

Allocating with __GFP_DMA avoids the need for bounce buffers
