Just from reading the commit log and the patch I didn't understand the
problem that is supposed to be fixed here. After looking at it for some
I understood. I don't suggest a new commit log here as it has to look
different if you pick up my comment below.

I wonder if it would be saner to not assign to dma_is_rxing in
imx_disable_rx_int() at all but do this only in start_rx_dma() and
imx_dma_rxint().
