[PATCH v2 2/3] serial: mxs-auart: add the DMA support for mx28

Hi Huang,

DMA support doesn't work with latest stable v3.6.5 or development 
3.7-rc5 kernels. I get following error message when I open the serial 
port /dev/ttyAPP0:

[   48.730000] mxs-auart 8006a000.serial: step 1 error
[   48.750000] mxs-auart 8006a000.serial: We can not start up the DMA.

Why HW flow control is required?

We need high speed auart without flow control. I have tested kernel from 
Freescale's BSP and the performance was good without HW flow control.

Best Regards,
