serial: sh-sci: Fix race condition causing garbage during shutdown
If DMA is enabled and used, a burst of old data may be seen on the serial console during "poweroff" or "reboot". uart_flush_buffer() clears the circular buffer, but sci_port.tx_dma_len is not reset. This leads to a circular buffer overflow, dumping (UART_XMIT_SIZE - sci_port.tx_dma_len) bytes. To fix this, add a .flush_buffer() callback that resets sci_port.tx_dma_len. Inspired by commit 31ca2c63 ("tty/serial: atmel: fix race condition (TX+DMA)").
