serial: imx: implement the flush_buffer hook
The current driver does not implement the flush_buffer hook for uart_ops. When we enable the DMA for the driver, and test it with Bluetooth, we may meet the following bug for TX: [1] User application may call the flush operation at any time. The uart_flush_buffer() calls the uart_circ_clear() to set the xmit->head and xmit->tail with 0. [2] The TX DMA callback can be called at any time too. The dma_tx_call() will update the xmit->tail. If [2] occurs just after the [1], we will get the wrong xmit->tail. This patch implements the flush_buffer hook to fix this issue.
