If yes, hope you can raise your issue in freescale community or > contact with Andy whose mail address added in CC list fugang.duan@...escale.cm. > We have fix some bugs in UART DMA case. It's an i.mx6q (Wandboard quad c1) where I have this problem with mainline and much older (but heavily patched freescale 3.10.x based) kernels. A quick web-search suggests that this problem exists since a long time (noticed mainly by people which try to use BT as this seems to be the major use case for high speed serial communication).
