Subject: [PATCH 10/16] tty: serial: 8250_dma: optimize the xmit path due to UART_BUG_DMA_TX

Due to UART_BUG_DMA_TX the am335x has to put the first one byte into the
TX FIFO to get things going. If we get to serial8250_tx_dma() via
__dma_tx_complete() then the DMA engine just finished and the FIFO is
full and we can't put the first byte into the TX FIFO as kick start so
we leave with THRI enabled.
The result is that we end up manually filling the FIFO. We could be a
little better at this and try DMA once again. If it works, it works and
if not we do it manually.

v8…v9:
	- fix receiving THRI interrupts after DMA operation completed and
	  the next one would fail (length < 4 bytes).
	- while at it makes sure we fail with an error for zero lenght
	  transfers with the TX bug or runtime PM
	- make sure THRI is always cleared after DMA is fired.
