[ Upstream commit b0af4bcb49464c221ad5f95d40f2b1b252ceedcc ]
When a serial port is used for kernel console output, then all modifications to the UART registers which are done from other contexts, e.g. getty, termios, are interference points for the kernel console.
So far this has been ignored and the printk output is based on the principle of hope. The rework of the console infrastructure which aims to support threaded and atomic consoles, requires to mark sections which modify the UART registers as unsafe. This allows the atomic write function to make informed decisions and eventually to restore operational state. It also allows to prevent the regular UART code from modifying UART registers while printk output is in progress.
All modifications of UART registers are guarded by the UART port lock, which provides an obvious synchronization point with the console infrastructure.
Provide wrapper functions for spin_[un]lock*(port->lock) invocations so that the console mechanics can be applied later on at a single place and does not require to copy the same logic all over the drivers.
