A side effect of 89d8232411a8 ("tty/serial: atmel_serial: BUG: stop DMA
from transmitting in stop_tx") is that the console can be called with
TX path disabled. Then the system would hang trying to push charecters
out in atmel_console_putchar().

Hi Richard,

I found this to fix the problem with system hang in my linux-4.4-at91 branch
(in the atmel_console_putchar() waiting loop actually). I'm open to more
insignt.
As we cannot figure out if this bit is set or not, I didn't preserve the
current status...

Regards,
So, I'm guessing that you may see some lines/characters printed twice on
the screen, don't you ?
