[PATCH LINUX v4 02/13] tty: xuartps: Use spinlock to serialize HW access

From: Soren Brinkmann <hidden>
Date: 2015-12-06 04:39:58
Also in: linux-serial, lkml
Subsystem: the rest, tty layer and serial drivers · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Jiri Slaby

Instead of disabling the IRQ, use the spin lock to serialize accesses to
the HW. This protects the driver from interference of non-IRQ callbacks
with each other and makes the driver more consistent in its
serialization method.
