Re: [PATCH tty v1 7/8] serial: 8250: lock port for UART_IER access in omap8250_irq()

* John Ogness <john.ogness@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [230525 09:34]:
> omap8250_irq() accesses UART_IER. This register is modified twice
> by each console write (serial8250_console_write()) under the port
> lock. omap8250_irq() must also take the port lock to guanentee
> synchronized access to UART_IER.

> Since the port lock is already being taken for the stop_rx() callback
> and since it is safe to call cancel_delayed_work() while holding the
> port lock, simply extend the port lock region to include UART_IER
> access.
