[PATCH] serial: sh-sci: Fix panic when serial console and DMA are enabled

From: Yoshihiro Shimoda
Date: Mon Feb 27 2017 - 01:59:20 EST


From: Takatoshi Akiyama <takatoshi.akiyama.kj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch fixes an issue that kernel panic happens when DMA is enabled
and we press enter key while the kernel booting on the serial console.

* An interrupt may occur after sci_request_irq().
* DMA transfer area is initialized by setup_timer() in sci_request_dma()
and used in interrupt.

If an interrupt occurred between sci_request_irq() and setup_timer() in
sci_request_dma(), DMA transfer area has not been initialized yet.
So, this patch changes the order of sci_request_irq() and
sci_request_dma().

Fixes: 73a19e4c0301 ("serial: sh-sci: Add DMA support.")
