This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
serial: sh-sci: Initialize spinlock for uart consoleto my tty git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git in the tty-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.
It looks like it's a regression in serial_core.c [1] as Geert pointed out [2]. Please drop this patch until we come to a conclusion.

We have had MANY patches for individual drivers to fix up the issue with that serial_core patch. I think, and hope, they are all now caught. If not, please let us know, but for now, this patch is needed, so I'll keep it.
Yeah, let's fix all the fixes when the core issue is fixed ;-)
Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
