    serial: 8250: lock port for rx_dma() callback · 87660fb4

    The rx_dma() callback (omap_8250_rx_dma) accesses UART_IER. This
    register is modified twice by each console write
    (serial8250_console_write()) under the port lock. However, not
    all calls to the rx_dma() callback are under the port lock.
    
    Add the missing port locking around rx_dma() callback calls. Add
    lockdep notation to the omap_8250_rx_dma().
    
    Note that this is not fixing a real problem because:
    
    1. Currently DMA is forced off for 8250_omap consoles.
    
    2. The serial devices are resumed before console printing is enabled.
    
    However, adding this locking allows for clean locking semantics
    for the rx_dma() callback so that lockdep can be used to identify
    possible problems in the future. It also simplifies synchronization
    of UART_IER in general by not needing to rely on implementation
    details such as 1 and 2.
