pch_uart: Fix DMA resource leak issue
Changing UART mode PIO->DMA->PIO->DMA like below, pch_uart driver can't get
DMA channel resource.
setserial /dev/ttyPCH0 ^low_latency
setserial /dev/ttyPCH0 low_latency
CAUSE:
Changing mode using setserial command, ".startup" function which gets DMA
channel is called before ".verify_port" function which sets
dma-flag(use_dma/use_dma_flag) as 1.
PIO->DMA
.startup: Since dma-flag is 0, DMA channel is not requested.
.verify_port: dma-flag is set as 1.
.shutdown: N/A
DMA->PIO
.startup: Since dma-flag is 1, DMA channel is requested.
.verify_port: dma-flag is set as 0.
.shutdown: Since dma-flag is 0, DMA channel is not released.
This means DMA channel resource leak occurs.
Next time, this driver can't get DMA channel resource forever.
MODIFICATION:
Currently, when release DMA channel resource, this driver checks dma-flag.
However, this specification occurs the above issue.
This driver must check whether dma_request_channel is executed or not.
The values are saved in private data variable "chan_tx/chan_tx".
These variables mean if the value is NULL, DMA channel is not requested,
if not NULL, DMA channel is requested.
This patch fixes the issue.
