Haavard Skinnemoen 6bb0e3a59a Subject: [PATCH 1/2] serial: Add flush_buffer() operation to uart_ops ... Serial drivers using DMA (like the atmel_serial driver) tend to get very confused when the xmit buffer is flushed and nobody told them. They also tend to spew a lot of garbage since the DMA engine keeps running after the buffer is flushed and possibly refilled with unrelated data. This patch adds a new flush_buffer operation to the uart_ops struct, along with a call to it from uart_flush_buffer() right after the xmit buffer has been cleared. The driver can implement this in order to syncronize its internal DMA state with the xmit buffer when the buffer is flushed.
