This is in msm_request_tx_dma().  I should have made the message
"msm_serial: TX DMA not enabled\n" and added a similar message
to msm_request_rx_dma().

Then it could print twice, once for TX and once for RX. :-)
For my board it would print twice because both requests would
fail for the same reason.

Should I add it to msm_request_rx_dma() also, but make both
locations dev_debug() instead of dev_info()?
