That bitfield is modified by read + or + write operation. If someone
sets any of the other two bits it might render the lock useless.
While at it, remove other bitfields as well to avoid more such
errors.

The function tty_insert_flip_string() returns an int and as such it
might fail. So the result is that I kindly asked to insert 48 bytes and
the function only insterted 32.
I have no idea what to do with the remaining 16 so I think dropping them
is the only option. I also increase the buf_overrun counter so userpace
has a clue that we lost bytes.

It has been observed on DRA7-evm that the UART triggers the interrupt and
reading IIR says IIR_NO_INT. It seems that we receive data via RX-DMA
but the interrupt is triggered anyway. I have hardly observed it on
AM335x and not in *that* quantity. On DRA7-evm with continuous transfers
at 3MBaud and CPU running at 1.5Ghz it is possible that the IRQ-core will
close the UART interrupt after "some time" with "nobody cared".
I've seen that by not enabling IER_RDI those spurious interrupts are not
triggered. Also it seems that DMA and RDI cause the "timeout interrupt"
which does not allow RX-DMA to be scheduled even if the FIFO reached the
programmed RX threshold. However without RDI we don't get a notification
if we have less than RX threshold bytes in the FIFO.
This is where we have the rx_dma_wd timer. After programming the RX-DMA
transfer wait HZ / 4 or 250ms for it to complete. If it does not
complete in that time span we cancel the DMA transfer and enable RDI.
RDI will trigger an UART interrupt in case we have bytes in the FIFO.
Once we read bytes manually from the FIFO we enable RX-DMA again
(without RDI) with the same 250ms timeout.
One downside with this approach is that latency sensitive protocols that
transfer less than 48 bytes will have to wait 250ms to complete.
Is there maybe a user interface where one could set small or bulk transfers?

I guess because of this reason, wlink8 bluetooth connected to TI's DRA7
EVM failed to probe with this patch included. At the least, looks like
this patch needs some tuning.

No objection to the patch but I'm curious whether this is something you've
actually observed and under what circumstances.

This was observed while doing a UART internal loopback test at 3Mbaud on
TI's DRA7 EVM.
