[PATCH 0/4] tty/serial: atmel: rework tasklets and shutdown sequence

[Nicolas Ferre]

We experienced some issues with how the atmel_serial driver was dealing with
tasklets.
First, a single tasklet was used for both RX and TX paths which was leading to
calling DMA residue checking routines frequently without reason. So I split the
RX and TX paths with one tasklet for each.
Secondly, as we experienced some deadlocks, I reinforced the shutdown function
of this driver by following the recommended sequence that is described
here:

The first 3 patches have already been posted on May 12th. The 4th patch is
built on top of them, this is why make a series with them...

Bye,
