Does this happen on any other OMAP part besides am335x?
I looked back over the LKML history of this and didn't see any other
design implicated in this problem.

I ask because I wonder if this is related to the tx dma trigger
problem (worked around by writing a byte to the tx fifo on am335x)?

If so, then
1) It should use the OMAP_DMA_TX_KICK bug flag
2) It could pause dma, complete set_termios(), then resume dma which would
keep everything nice and linear.

Or even just drop DMA for the am335x and only use the normal 8250_dma
support for newer OMAP designs.
