8250 UART DMA works fine with EDMA as the DMA engine.
As per my testing, am335x + EDMA, am437x + EDMA, dra7xx + EDMA and
dra72x + EDMA require OMAP_DMA_TX_KICK quirk. However when using SDMA
OMAP_DMA_TX_KICK is not needed (I tested on dra7xx platform). So, it can
be concluded that when using EDMA with 8250 UART tx kick is needed.
