The MSM UART DM controller supports different working modes, e.g. DMA or
the "single-character mode", where all reads/writes operate on a single
character rather than 4 chars (32-bit) at once. When using earlycon,
__msm_console_write() always writes 4 characters at a time, but we don't
know which mode the bootloader was using and we don't set the mode either.
This causes garbled output if the bootloader was using the single-character
mode, because only every 4th character appears in the serial console, e.g.
"[ 00oni pi 000xf0[ 00i s 5rm9(l)l s 1 1 SPMTA 7:C 5[ 00A ade k d[
00ano:ameoi .Q1B[ 00ac _idaM00080oo'"
If the bootloader was using the DMA ("DM") mode, output would likely fail
entirely. Later, when the full serial driver probes, the port is
re-initialized and output works as expected.
Fix this also for earlycon by clearing the DMEN register and
reset+re-enable the transmitter to apply the change. This ensures the
transmitter is in the expected state before writing any output.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
