Miquel Raynal ad7fd9f652 serial: 8250: dma: Allow driver operations before starting DMA transfers
[ Upstream commit e4fb03fe10c5e7a5d9aef7cefe815253274fb9ee ]

One situation where this could be used is when configuring the UART
controller to be the DMA flow controller. This is a typical case where
the driver might need to program a few more registers before starting a
DMA transfer. Provide the necessary infrastructure to support this
case.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
