[PATCH LINUX v5 2/8] tty: xuartps: Use spinlock to serialize HW access

From: Soren Brinkmann
Date: Sat Dec 26 2015 - 05:46:09 EST


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.
