[PATCH 3.10 012/103] 8250_core: Fix unwanted TX chars write

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Loic Poulain <loic.poulain@xxxxxxxxx>

commit b08c9c317e3f7764a91d522cd031639ba42b98cc upstream.

On transmit-hold-register empty, serial8250_tx_chars
should be called only if we don't use DMA.
DMA has its own tx cycle.
