So now,  this patch can be applied.
In fact, I've confirmed this patch can be applied to 3.4-rc2 with the
following order.
1st: pch_uart: Delete unused structure member
2nd: pch_uart: Fix dma channel unallocated issue

I should have written the dependency.
Could you try to apply this patch again ?

thanks
