Subject: [PATCH 4.4 012/138] tty: serial: msm: Dont read off end of tx fifo

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bjorn Andersson <bjorn.andersson@...aro.org>

commit 30acf549ca1e81859a67590ab9ecfce3d1050a0b upstream.

For dm uarts in pio mode tx data is transferred to the fifo register 4
bytes at a time, but care is not taken when these 4 bytes spans the end
of the xmit buffer so the loop might read up to 3 bytes past the buffer
and then skip the actual data at the beginning of the buffer.

Fix this by, analogous to the DMA case, make sure the chunk doesn't
wrap the xmit buffer.
