I just tested this on an i.MX6 board and observed the same behaviour.
The same will happen on any other i.MX board as well. This will also
likely happen on any other SoC on which the UART driver uses dmaengine.

Fixing this at board level is not really an option because that means
fixing each and every, at least i.MX board in the tree. Furthermore
this would mean to bring the deleted property back in and to remove
another dmas property should a user want to switch to another console
port.

For what it's worth: NACK for 71066545b48e4.
