[PATCH 4.2 084/120] serial: samsung: fix DMA for FIFO smaller than cache line size

From: Robert Baldyga <r.baldyga@samsung.com>

commit 736cd79f483fd7a1e0b71e6eaddf01d8d87fbbbb upstream.

So far DMA mode were activated when only number of bytes to send was
equal or greater than min_dma_size. Due to requirement that DMA transaction
buffer should be aligned to cache line size, the excessive bytes were
written to FIFO before starting DMA transaction. The problem occurred
when FIFO size were smaller than cache alignment, because writing all
excessive bytes to FIFO would fail. It happened in DMA mode when PIO
interrupts disabled, which caused driver hung.

The solution is to test if buffer is alligned to cache line size before
activating DMA mode, and if it's not, running PIO mode to align buffer
and then starting DMA transaction. In PIO mode, when interrupts are
enabled, lack of space in FIFO isn't the problem, so buffer aligning
will always finish with success.
