mainlining shenanigans
The size of the DMA buffer can affect the delta time between data being produced and data being consumed. Basically the DMA system will move data to tty buffer when a) DMA buffer is full b) serial line is idle. The situation is visible when producer generates data continuously and there is no possibility for idle line. At this point the DMA buffer is directly affecting the delta time. The patch will add the possibility to configure the DMA buffers in DT, which case by case can be configured separately for every driver instance. The DT configuration is optional and in case missing the driver will use the 4096 buffer with 4 periods (as before), therefore no clients are impacted by this change.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
