I think you have 2 commits here: 
- one that disables ageing timer when DMA is in use
- one that cleans the leftovers after 4dec2f119e86.

I don't think we need the check `!sport->dma_is_enabled ` since RRDY and AGTIM interrupts should be disable when DMA is enabled.

I think this should be moved to imx_startup. At least RRDY is configured there.

I could kill 3 lines, in the 1st patch, and the other 27 in the next.
But the 2 patches would not be independent. You should not apply the
second without the 1st. I think the change is simple enough not to
warrant a series.

If I AND the status with its corresponding interrupt enable. But that is just as complicated, and
more different from the original.

Currently, non-dma mode does not use the ageing timer. You get an interrupt immediately when
1 character is in the fifo. So, enabling the ageing timer and changing fifo level, should really be
a separate patch. But it would be a nice patch.

Ok but in this case, we are left with aging timer and rrdy check in the interrupt and imx-startup enables only rrdy. (which is not much different than what it was before, since aging timer didn't get a chance to be triggered)
I agree that changing the fifo level to give a chance also to the aging timer will be the right thing to do here.

Overall, I think is ok, my main concern with not enabling the aging timer in startup is that people can be confused about this.

Yes, I agree, but it would be the right thing to do. :)
