[PATCH 4.9 066/120] tty/serial: atmel_serial: BUG: stop DMA from transmitting in stop_tx

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Jan 18 2017 - 06:13:40 EST


4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Richard Genoud <richard.genoud@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 89d8232411a85b9a6b12fd5da4d07d8a138a8e0c upstream.

If we don't disable the transmitter in atmel_stop_tx, the DMA buffer
continues to send data until it is emptied.
This cause problems with the flow control (CTS is asserted and data are
still sent).

So, disabling the transmitter in atmel_stop_tx is a sane thing to do.

Tested on at91sam9g35-cm(DMA)
Tested for regressions on sama5d2-xplained(Fifo) and at91sam9g20ek(PDC)
