v2 cover serial: mxs-auart: add RTS/CTS check for DMA support

The original DMA support works only when RTS/CTS is enabled. But after several patches, DMA support has lost this limit. So a UART without the RTS/CTS lines may also enables the DMA support for it, but it may does not work or works abnormally (since without the RTS/CTS signals, the TX/RX may not works)

This patch set remove the unnecessary macro MXS_AUART_DMA_CONFIG, and adds an optional property "fsl,uart-has-rtscts" for the UART DT node which indicates the UART has RTS and CTS lines.

This patch set also adds a macro MXS_AUART_RTSCTS, and uses it to check RTS/CTS before we enable the DMA for the UART.

At last, enable the DMA support for auart0 in the imx28-evk boards.

v1 --> v2:
[0] changed the comments.
[1] fix the typos.

Huang Shijie (3):
serial: mxs: remove the MXS_AUART_DMA_CONFIG
serial: mxs: enable the DMA only when the RTS/CTS is valid
ARM: dts: imx28-evk: add the RTS/CTS property for auart0

PATCH v2 1/3 serial: mxs: remove the MXS_AUART_DMA_CONFIG

The MXS_AUART_DMA_CONFIG is originally used to check if the DT node is configured with the DMA property.

But now, the MXS_AUART_DMA_CONFIG is set unconditionally in the serial_mxs_probe_dt(), so the check in the mxs_auart_settermios() is not necessary anymore. This patch removes it.

PATCH v2 2/3 serial: mxs: enable the DMA only when the RTS/CTS is valid

Quoted 1 line · Huang Shijie

What is original here?

Quoted 1 line

This is still misleading.

This patch also adds a macro MXS_AUART_RTSCTS, and uses it to check RTS/CTS before we enable the DMA for the UART.

I still think this should go to stable. The options are:

a) also take patch 1 into stable
b) apply this patch without patch 1

I don't know if option a) is OK, b) is probably preferable. And as Greg has much to do anyhow, better move this patch first. (Otherwise he will probably only say: That patch doesn't apply, please help.)
