In msm_complete_tx_dma() these are under an if condition checking the
version of uartdm. Do we need that here? Although I also see that
MSM_UART_CR_CMD_RESET_TX is unconditionally written in msm_reset() but
not MSM_UART_CR_TX_ENABLE so maybe the condition check is wrong or the
bit doesn't exist in earlier versions of the hardware so it doesn't
really matter.
