[PATCH v2 0/3] serial: mxs-auart: add RTS/CTS check for DMA support

The original DMA support works only when RTS/CTS is enabled.
But after several patches, DMA support has lost this limit.
So a UART without the RTS/CTS lines may also enables the DMA support
for it, but it may does not work or works abnormally (since without the
RTS/CTS signals, the TX/RX may not works)		

This patch set remove the unnecessary macro MXS_AUART_DMA_CONFIG,
and adds an optional property "fsl,uart-has-rtscts" for the UART DT node
which indicates the UART has RTS and CTS lines.

This patch set also adds a macro MXS_AUART_RTSCTS, and uses it to check
RTS/CTS before we enable the DMA for the UART.

At last, enable the DMA support for auart0 in the imx28-evk boards.

v1 --> v2:
	[0] changed the comments.
	[1] fix the typos.
