[PATCHv3 5/6] serial: mxs-auart: clamp RX DMA count to buffer size

[Rosen Penev <rosenp@gmail.com>]

In dma_rx_callback(), the RX count from the hardware status register
(AUART_STAT_RXCOUNT_MASK = 0xffff) is passed directly to
tty_insert_flip_string() without any bounds check. Since rx_dma_buf
is allocated with UART_XMIT_SIZE (4096 bytes), a hardware fault or
compromised peripheral reporting a count larger than 4096 would cause
an out-of-bounds read, potentially leaking kernel memory.

Clamp the count to UART_XMIT_SIZE before use.
