Qipan Li 1d26c9ff42 serial: sirf: workaround rx process to avoid possible data loss ... when UART works in DMA mode and left bytes in rx fifo less than a dma transfer unit, DMA engine can't transfer the bytes out to rx DMA buffer. so it need a way to fetch them out and flush them into tty buffer in time. in the above case, we want UART switch from DMA mode to PIO mode and fetch && flush bytes into tty layer buffer until rxfifo become empty, after that done let UART switch from PIO mode back to DMA mode. (record as method1) method1 result in the next receive result wrong. for example in PIO part of method1, we fetched && pushed X1...X3 bytes, when UART rxfifo newly received Y1...Y4 bytes, UART trigger a DMA unit transfer, the DMA unit's content is X1...X3Y1 and rxfifo fifo status is empty, so X1X2X3 pushed twice by PIO way and DMA way also the bytes Y2Y3Y4 missed. add rxfifo reset operation before UART switch back to DMA mode would resolve the issue. ([method1 + do fifo reset] record as method2) before the commit, UART driver use method2. but methd2 have a risk of data loss, as if UART's shift register receive a complete byte and transfer it into rxfifo before rxfifo reset operation the byte will loss. UART and USP have the similar bits CLEAR_RX_ADDR_EN(uart)/FRADDR_CLR_EN(usp), When found UART controller changing I/O to DMA mode, UART controller clears the two low bits of read point (rx_fifo_addr[1:0]). when enable the bit + method1(record as method3), in above example the DMA unit's content is X1...X3Y1 and there are Y2Y3Y4 in rxfifo by experiment, we just push bytes in rx DMA buffer. BTW, the workaround works only for UART receive DMA channel use SINGLE DMA mode.
