staging: greybus: uart: Fix atomicity violation in get_serial_info()[ Upstream commit fe0ebeafc3b723b2f8edf27ecec6d353b08397df ] Our static checker found a bug where set_serial_info() uses a mutex, but get_serial_info() does not. Fortunately, the impact of this is relatively minor. It doesn't cause a crash or any other serious issues. However, if a race condition occurs between set_serial_info() and get_serial_info(), there is a chance that the data returned by get_serial_info() will be meaningless.
