Re: [PATCH] serial: imx: Improve PIO prevention if TX DMA has been started

The imx_transmit_buffer function should return if TX DMA has already
been started and not just skip over the buffer PIO write loop. (Which
did fix the initial problem, but could have unintentional side-effects)

Tested on an i.MX6Q board with half-duplex RS-485 and with RS-232.

Shouldn't the return go here?

Did you understand the problem? Can you say why this only hurts in RS485
half-duplex but not (as it seems) in regular rs232 mode?
