[PATCH v2 4/4] serial: 8250: Flush DMA Rx on RLSI

From: Ilpo Järvinen
Date: Tue Nov 08 2022 - 07:20:38 EST


Returning true from handle_rx_dma() without flushing DMA first creates
a data ordering hazard. If DMA Rx has handled any character at the
point when RLSI occurs, the non-DMA path handles any pending characters
jumping them ahead of those characters that are pending under DMA.
