[PATCH] staging: greybus: uart: fix racy TIOCMIWAIT implementation
From: Johan Hovold
Date: Mon Sep 07 2026 - 03:19:41 EST
The wakeup condition needs to be checked after adding the task to the
waitqueue and updating the task state to avoid missing a racing modem
status update or disconnect.
Fixes: e68453ed28c5 ("greybus: uart-gb: now builds, more framework added")
