[PATCH] serial-uartlite: fix missing locking in isr

From: Rich Felker
Date: Fri Jan 08 2016 - 15:34:02 EST


From: Rich Felker <dalias@xxxxxxxx>

The uartlite driver suffers from missing/duplicate/corrupted character
data when the interrupt handler runs concurrently with access to the
device from another cpu. Take the port spinlock to exclude concurrent
access.
