Subject: Revert "serial: 8250_dma: don't bother DMA with small transfers"
From: Frederic Danis <[email protected]>
commit f967fc8f165fadb72166f2bd4785094b3ca21307 upstream.
This reverts commit 9119fba0cfeda6d415c9f068df66838a104b87cb.
This commit prevents from sending "big" file using Bluetooth.
When sending a lot of data quickly through the Bluetooth interface, and
after a variable amount of data sent, transfer fails with error:
kernel: [ 415.247453] Bluetooth: hci0 hardware error 0x00
Found on T100TA.
After reverting this commit, send works fine for any file size.
