[PATCH v2] serial: imx: adapt rx buffer and dma periods

[Philipp Puschmann]

Using only 4 DMA periods for UART RX is very few if we have a high
frequency of small transfers - like in our case using Bluetooth with
many small packets via UART - causing many dma transfers but in each
only filling a fraction of a single buffer. Such a case may lead to
the situation that DMA RX transfer is triggered but no free buffer is
available. While we have addressed the dma handling already with
"dmaengine: imx-sdma: fix dma freezes" we still want to avoid
UART RX FIFO overrun. So we decrease the size of the buffers and
increase their number and the total buffer size.
