The UART uses the DMA for RX/TX with the hardware flow control (RTS/CTS) 
enabled all the time.
If we use the software flow control(XON/XOFF), we should not enable the DMA.
I think i should add more comments about this issue.

For example:
The MX6Q arm2 has two uarts, one with the DMA disabled is used for debug,
the other one with the DMA/RTS.CTS enabled can be used for the Bluetooth.

The uart uses the SDMA (drivers/dma/imx-sdma.c). And the SDMA may 
schedule out in :
sdma_prep_slave_sg() --> sdma_load_contex() -->sdma_run_channel() .

So i have to add a work struct to prepare and triger the DMA operations.

This callback is called from IRQ context, with all the IRQ disabled. see:
sdma_int_handler() -->mxc_sdma_handle_channel() --> 
mxc_sdma_handle_channel_normal()
--> .callback().

So spin_lock() is enough.
