Subject: [PATCH 0/2] dmaengine: dw: Fix sys freeze and XFER-bit set error for UARTs

The main goal of the series is to fix the DW DMAC driver to be working
better with the serial 8250 device driver implementation. In particular it
was discovered that there is a random system freeze (caused by a
deadlock) and an occasional "BUG: XFER bit set, but channel not idle"
error printed to the log when the DW APB UART interface is used in
conjunction with the DW DMA controller. Although I guess the problem can
be found for any 8250 device using DW DMAC for the Tx/Rx-transfers
execution. Anyway this short series contains two patches fixing these
bugs. Please see the respective patches log for details.

Changelog RFC:
- Add a new patch:
  [PATCH 2/2] dmaengine: dw: Fix XFER bit set, but channel not idle error
  fixing the "XFER bit set, but channel not idle" error.
- Instead of just dropping the dwc_scan_descriptors() method invocation
  calculate the residue in the Tx-status getter.
