hsu: add a periodic timer to check dma rx channel
A general problem for uart rx dma channel is you never know when and how much data will be received, so usually preset it a DMA descriptor with a big size, and rely on DMA RX timeout IRQ to know there is some data in rx channel. For a RX data size of multiple of MOTSR, there will be no timeout IRQ issued, thus OS will never be notified about that. This is a work around for that, current timer frequency is 5 times per second, it should vary according to the baud rate When future silicon version fix the problem, this workaround need be removed Signed-off-by: Feng Tang <feng.tang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
