Subject: [PATCH 4.9 50/72] tty/serial: atmel: fix TX path in atmel_console_write()

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

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

From: Nicolas Ferre <nicolas.ferre@...rochip.com>

commit 497e1e16f45c70574dc9922c7f75c642c2162119 upstream.

A side effect of 89d8232411a8 ("tty/serial: atmel_serial: BUG: stop DMA
from transmitting in stop_tx") is that the console can be called with
TX path disabled. Then the system would hang trying to push charecters
out in atmel_console_putchar().
