This is now commit 847449f23dcbff68 ("dmaengine: rcar-dmac: use TCRB
instead of TCR for residue") in slave-dma/next, and breaks serial console
input on koelsch (shmobile_defconfig) and salvator-x (renesas_defconfig).
Reverting that commit fixes the issue for me.

Large serial console input (copy and pasting long lines) works, as that uses
DMA. Small serial console input (typing) doesn't work.

Apparently for the serial port, TCR contains the value we need (< 0x20),
while TCRB always contains 0x20.
Perhaps the code should use the minimum of both registers instead?

For reference, below is the (gmail-whitespace-damaged) patch I used for
debugging (note that you cannot print from rcar_dmac_chan_get_residue()!):
