Subject: [PATCH 13/13] serial: linflexuart: Avoid stopping DMA during receive operations
Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2026 16:02:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260216150205.212318-14-larisa.grigore@oss.nxp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260216150205.212318-1-larisa.grigore@oss.nxp.com>
From: Radu Pirea <radu-nicolae.pirea@nxp.com>
Replace DMA single transactions with DMA cyclic transactions. Characters
may be lost between two single DMA transactions if the CPU is running at
lower frequencies.
