    Subject[ 36/62] pch_uart: Fix dma channel unallocated issue
    3.3-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Tomoya MORINAGA <tomoya.rohm@gmail.com>

    commit af6d17cdc8c89aeb3101f0d27cd32fc0592b40b2 upstream.

    This driver anticipates pch_uart_verify_port() is not called
    during installation.
    However, actually pch_uart_verify_port() is called during
    installation.
    As a result, memory access violation occurs like below.

    0. initial value: use_dma=0
    1. starup()
    - dma channel is not allocated because use_dma=0
    2. pch_uart_verify_port()
    - Set use_dma=1
    3. UART processing acts DMA mode because use_dma=1
    - memory access violation occurs!

    This patch fixes the issue.

    Solution:
    Whenever pch_uart_verify_port() is called and then
    dma channel is not allocated, the channel should be allocated.
