From e8001632816e600ced7d9d4790930fd87935c654 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Huang Shijie Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2012 16:03:53 +0800 Subject: serial: mxs-auart: add the DMA support for mx28 Only we meet the following conditions, we can enable the DMA support for auart: (1) We enable the DMA support in the dts file, such as arch/arm/boot/dts/imx28.dtsi. (2) We enable the hardware flow control. (3) We use the mx28, not the mx23. Due to hardware bug(see errata: 2836), we can not add the DMA support to mx23.
