It's a real fix, you will see 'timeout We read 0 byte' with the attached stress test
running on i.mx7d or i.mx6 if no this patch applied. 
' while [ 1 ]; do /unit_tests/UART/mxc_uart_stress_test.out /dev/ttymxc5 2000000 D L 100 100 L; done &'
Please make sure dma enabled on ttymxcX for your test, and sdma firmware setup in your rootfs 
/lib/firmware/imx/sdma/sdma-imx6q.bin or /lib/firmware/imx/sdma/sdma-imx7d.bin.
You can get sdma firmware from below:
