Hi,

I am sorry, but locking is really broken here. All these contexts can sleep.
There is no need for a spinlock. As far as you need locking, just use a mutex.

Secondly, if xr_set_rs485_config() needs locking, so will xr_get_rs485_config()
or you can get the case that you return half a new and half an old state to user
space.
