tty/serial: at91: use 32bit writes into TX FIFO when DMA is enabled
For now this improvement is only used with TX DMA transfers. The data
width must be set properly when configuring the DMA controller. Also
the FIFO configuration must be set to match the DMA transfer data
width:
TXRDYM (Transmitter Ready Mode) and RXRDYM (Receiver Ready Mode) must
be set into the FIFO Mode Register. These values are used by the
USART to trigger the DMA controller. In single data mode they are not
used and should be reset to 0.
So the TXRDYM bits are changed to FOUR_DATA; then USART triggers the
DMA controller when at least 4 data can be written into the TX FIFO
througth the THR. On the other hand the RXRDYM bits are left unchanged
to ONE_DATA.
Atmel eXtended DMA controller allows us to set a different data width
for each part of a scatter-gather transfer. So when calling
dmaengine_slave_config() to configure the TX path, we just need to set
dst_addr_width to the maximum data width. Then DMA writes into THR are
split into up to two parts. The first part carries the first data to
be sent and has a length equal to the greatest multiple of 4 (bytes)
lower than or equal to the total length of the TX DMA transfer. The
second part carries the trailing data (up to 3 bytes). The first part
is written by the DMA into THR using 32 bit accesses, whereas 8bit
accesses are used for the second part.
