serial: fsl_lpuart: avoid new transfer while DMA is running
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 5f1437f upstream.

When the UART is in DMA receive mode (RDMAS set) and one character
just arrived while another interrupt is handled (e.g. TX), the RDRF
(receiver data register full flag) is set due to the water level of
1. But since the DMA will take care of this character, there is no
need to handle it by calling lpuart_prepare_rx. Handling it leads to
adding the RX timeout timer twice:

Solve this by only execute the receiver path (lpuart_prepare_rx) if
the DMA receive mode (RDMAS) is not set. Also, make sure the flag is
cleared on initialization, in case it has been left set.

This can be best reproduced using UART as a serial console, then
running top while dd'ing data into the terminal.
