[PATCH] serial: imx: Improve PIO prevention if TX DMA has been started

From: Clemens Gruber
Date: Sat Aug 12 2017 - 11:23:37 EST


The imx_transmit_buffer function should return if TX DMA has already
been started and not just skip over the buffer PIO write loop. (Which
did fix the initial problem, but could have unintentional side-effects)

Tested on an i.MX6Q board with half-duplex RS-485 and with RS-232.
