[PATCH v2 02/10] tty: xuartps: Use spinlock to serialize HW access

[Soren Brinkmann]

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.
