Sometimes the OMAP UART does not signal the DMA engine to unload the FIFO. Usually this happens when we have >threshold bytes in the FIFO and start the DMA transfer. It seems that in those cases the UART won't trigger the transfer once the requested threshold is reached. In some rare cases the UART does not trigger the DMA transfer even if programmed while the FIFO was empty. In those cases the UART drops an RDI event and we have to empty the FIFO manually. If we ignore it because the DMA transfer is programmed then we will enter the function a few times until we receive the RX_TIMEOUT event. At that point the FIFO is usually full and we risk to overflow the FIFO.
