From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bige...@linutronix.de>
This basically reverts commit 068500e08dc8 ("serial: imx: initialized
DMA w/o HW flow enabled") simply because it does not work as expected
without additional magic which I am not aware of. The DMA mode is only
used for non-console UARTs so the "standard" boot test won't notice this.
I tested it on various IMX6 (S and Q) boards and the default SDMA firmware
that is included in ROM does work properly. The SDMA interrupt counter does
not stop increment (which means the SDMA does not stop working or the ACK
is working) and I see a lot of 0x00 (sometimes other bytes) which are added
to the tty buffer which are not part of the data transfer.
Jiada claimed that there is a firmware which makes it work but failed to
provide me a link to the firmware. All he said was that it can not be
shipped as part of the kernel due to license issues. I've found a firmware
blob in the FSL-tree but this firmware causes only TTY-overflows an *no*
data is transmitted.
Currently I see no other way out.
