Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.4 049/167] serial: sh-sci: Fix race condition
 causing garbage during shutdown

From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@...der.be>

[ Upstream commit 1cf4a7efdc71cab84c42cfea7200608711ea954f ]

If DMA is enabled and used, a burst of old data may be seen on the
serial console during "poweroff" or "reboot".  uart_flush_buffer()
clears the circular buffer, but sci_port.tx_dma_len is not reset.
This leads to a circular buffer overflow, dumping (UART_XMIT_SIZE -
sci_port.tx_dma_len) bytes.

To fix this, add a .flush_buffer() callback that resets
sci_port.tx_dma_len.

Inspired by commit 31ca2c63fdc0aee7 ("tty/serial: atmel: fix race
condition (TX+DMA)").
