Subject: [PATCH 05/13] tty: serial: 8250_dma: keep own book keeping about RX transfers

After dmaengine_terminate_all() has been invoked then both DMA drivers
(edma and omap-dma) do not invoke dma_cookie_complete() to mark the
transfer as complete. This dma_cookie_complete() is performed by the
Synopsys DesignWare driver which is probably the only one that is used
by omap8250-dma and hence don't see following problem…
…which is that once a RX transfer has been terminated then following
query of channel status reports DMA_IN_PROGRESS (again: the actual
transfer has been canceled, there is nothing going on anymore).

This means that serial8250_rx_dma() never enqueues another DMA transfer
because it (wrongly) assumes that there is a transer already pending.

Vinod Koul refuses to accept a patch which adds this
dma_cookie_complete() to both drivers and so dmaengine_tx_status() would
report DMA_COMPLETE instead (and behave like the Synopsys DesignWare
driver already does). He argues that I am not allowed to use the cookie
to query the status and that the driver already cleaned everything up after
the invokation of dmaengine_terminate_all().

To end this I add a bookkeeping whether or not a RX-transfer has been
started to the 8250-dma code. It has already been done for the TX side.
*Now* we learn about the RX status based on our bookkeeping and don't
need dmaengine_tx_status() for this anymore.
