tty:serial:msm:Do not restore Rx interrupts in DMA
Avoid data corruption issues that result in CRC errors during file
transfers over serial ports at higher baud rates.
The current msm_serial driver masks the FIFO Rx interrupts in
msm_start_rx_dma() since Rx FIFO interrupts are not required in DMA
mode. However, msm_complete_rx_dma() re-enables the Rx FIFO interrupts
which could cause RXSTALE event to be processed when a TXLEV interrupt
occurs.
The following is the sequence of events that could occur resulting in
data corruption.
msm_start_rx_dma -> msm_complete_rx_dma -->
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&port->lock) -->
msm_uart_irq()(For TXLEV interrupt) --> msm_handle_rx_dm() (Read from
FIFO resulting in data corruption)
The patch fixes the issue by not restoring the RXLEV and RXSTALE
interrupts in msm_complete_rx_dma(). These interrupts are required only
in FIFO mode.
