I actually hit a very similar issue on the Colibri iMX6 and hence looked
into this too. In our downstream tree, I fixed it in imx_startup, which
is probably the wrong place actually...

Note that UCR3_DCD has a different meaning in DCE mode. As a DCE, the
bit should be kept 1 (we assume that the carrier is detected by
default...)

The dte_mode bit should be initialized at that point, hence just making
that code conditional should account for that.

What I also noticed is that the RI signal suffers the very same issue.
We do not use the signal on our Colibri board, but we should disable
that interrupt too.
