Following errors were seen in the past on imx6 when using serial:
[ 22.617622] imx-uart 2020000.serial: DMA transaction error.
[ 22.623228] imx-uart 2020000.serial: DMA transaction error.
[ 22.628826] imx-uart 2020000.serial: DMA transaction error.
[ 22.648951] imx-uart 2020000.serial: DMA transaction error.
[ 22.654558] imx-uart 2020000.serial: DMA transaction error.
[ 22.660156] imx-uart 2020000.serial: DMA transaction error.
Which is the reason why DMA for the serial ports
got disabled in commits:
efb362cd93 ("imx6: disable dma on uart")
3b4241071d ("imx6: disable UART dma")
As indicated on mailinglist discussion, the cause seems to be
the usage of very old SDMA firmware which is present in the soc:
[ 0.624302] imx-sdma 20ec000.sdma: Direct firmware load for imx/sdma/sdma-imx6q.bin failed with error -2
[ 0.624318] imx-sdma 20ec000.sdma: Falling back to user helper
[ 64.531607] imx-sdma 20ec000.sdma: external firmware not found, using ROM firmware
This patch adds the new firmware binary. (2196 bytes)
It is required to embed the binary into the kernel image, as it
gets loaded very early in the boot process where the rootfs is not
available yet:
[ 0.622966] imx-sdma 20ec000.sdma: loaded firmware 3.3
Extended testing shows that the DMA errors are not seen anymore
when using this newer firmware version.

THIN_ARCHIVES option is enabled by default in the kernel configuration
and no one target config disables it. So enable it by default and remove
this symbol from target specific configs to keep them light.

New FUTEX_PI configuration symbol enabled if FUTEX and RT_MUTEX symbols
are enabled. Both of these symbols are enabled by default in the
generic config, so enable FUTEX_PI by default too to keep platform
specific configs minimal.

OVERLAY_FS config symbol selects EXPORTFS since 4.12 kernel, we have
OVERLAY_FS enabled by default, so enable EXPORTFS in the generic config
of 4.14 and remove this option from platform specific configs.

DRM_LIB_RANDOM config symbol selected only by DRM_DEBUG_MM_SELFTEST
which is disable by default, so disable DRM_LIB_RANDOM by default too.

These options do not used by any supported arch, so disable them by
default to make arch configs a bit more clean.

Only one arch (x86_64) enables this option. So disable
ARCH_WANTS_THP_SWAP by default and remove referencies to it from all
configs (except x86_64) to make them clean.
