This series fixes some of the fallout after a recent series adding
support for DMA transfers to the Qualcomm geni serial driver.

Most importantly it fixes a hang during reboot when using a serial
console and the getty is stopped during reboot.

Doug just posted an equivalent fix here:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230307073155.1.Iaab0159b8d268060a0e131ebb27125af4750ef99@changeid

but the commit message only mentions the regression with respect to
kgdb, which is not as widely used serial consoles generally, so I
figured I'd post my version for completeness.

Either version of that fix should address the immediate regression, but
fixing the underlying problems which have been there since the driver
was first merged is going to be a bit more involved.

The rest of the series fixes a few bugs in the new DMA support that I
found while investigating the console regression.

Hey Johan,

Douglas and Srini beat you to these fixes but thanks!

Nevermind, I read your other message now. And also patch 3/4 looks right.

Heh, this hang has been in linux-next for over a month and I've
actively tried to not spend time on investigating it in the hope that
someone else would be beat me to it before I moved to 6.3-rc. :)

Obviously I may be a bit biased, but I prefer this series over the
alternate fixes as the commit messages are a bit more complete and my
version of the empty DMA buffer fix is a bit cleaner.

I don't mind, as long as the bugs are fixed.
