Not sure if this got applied already, but you are missing the respective
change to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/serial/fsl-lpuart.txt.

Please document the dma-names you use here. While you are at it, please
also add the "ipg" clock-name.

This is wrong: Since the dma is performed by the dma engine rather
than the uart, the first argument here needs to be the dma device
pointer. In fact, dma_map_single is normally supposed to fail on
the uart device as the dma_mask value should be zero. Not sure
why this worked.

Please also change all references to "phys" -- it's not a phys
address but a bus address. These are often the same, but that's
not for the driver to know.
