CTSC and CTS are not related to DMA and might add
disruption in some cases.

If it was Nandor Han who created this patch, it would be great to get
his sob. If it was you, drop the From: line above.

Before this patch imx_disable_dma resulted in the #CTS pin being high
(inactive).

Does this qualify as a fix? If so, you should sort this patch to the
beginning of the series. Did you do test this patch and its effects
separately?

@Clemens: maybe this patch makes a relevant difference when the port is
operated in rs485 mode. Do you care to test?

I just finished testing it. The results are about the same as with v1 of
this patch series:

Applying v2 of patch 1/6, 2/6 and 3/6 (or even 3/6 alone) does not fix
the RS-485 DMA bug. It behaves exactly the same as without these
patches, meaning the whole xmit circ_buf (UART_XMIT_SIZE bytes) is sent
out, as seen in the logic analyzer screenshots from my first bug report:
https://pqgruber.com/rs485_results.png

Applying the whole series does make a (small) difference though:
The first few transmissions after a fresh boot work correctly! However,
after a few transmissions, characters are sent out twice and longer
transmissions are garbled, although not in the same way as before. The
whole circ_buf is no longer sent out.

With all patches from this series applied, I see the following on the
logic analyzer, when calling "echo Test > /dev/ttymxc4":
https://pqgruber.com/rs485txtest.png
(This pattern is not always the same, sometimes it is TeTesstt\n\n,
sometimes TeTesst\nt\n or TeTsestt\n\n and so on)

This behavior is reproducible on i.MX6Q and i.MX6D, not on i.MX6S/etc.,
I therefore assume that it is a SMP-/locking-related problem.

I will try to debug this further, and verify if - with this series
applied - xmit->tail is still jumping over xmit->head. And when exactly
this is happening.

Help is much appreciated!

Best regards,
Clemens
