    serial: amba-pl011: avoid SBSA UART accessing DMACR register

    Chapter B Generic UART in ARM Server Base System Architecture [1]
    documentation describes a generic UART interface. Such generic UART
    does not support DMA. In current code, sbsa_uart_pops and
    amba_pl011_pops share the same stop_rx operation, which will invoke
    pl011_dma_rx_stop, leading to an access of the DMACR register. This
    commit adds a using_rx_dma check in pl011_dma_rx_stop to avoid the
    access to DMACR register for SBSA UARTs which does not support DMA.

    When the kernel enables DMA engine with CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE=y, Linux
    SBSA PL011 driver will access PL011 DMACR register in some functions.
    For most real SBSA Pl011 hardware implementations, the DMACR write
    behaviour will be ignored. So these DMACR operations will not cause
    obvious problems. But for some virtual SBSA PL011 hardware, like Xen
    virtual SBSA PL011 (vpl011) device, the behaviour might be different.
    Xen vpl011 emulation will inject a data abort to guest, when guest is
    accessing an unimplemented UART register. As Xen VPL011 is SBSA
    compatible, it will not implement DMACR register. So when Linux SBSA
    PL011 driver access DMACR register, it will get an unhandled data abort
    fault and the application will get a segmentation fault:

    This has been discussed in the Xen community, and we think it should fix
    this in Linux. See [2] for more information.
