This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

serial: imx: Initialize lock for non-registered console

to my tty git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git in the tty-testing 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 be merged to the tty-next branch sometime soon, after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

From: Andy Shevchenko andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com Date: Mon, 25 May 2020 13:59:52 +0300 Subject: serial: imx: Initialize lock for non-registered console

The commit a3cb39d258ef ("serial: core: Allow detach and attach serial device for console") changed a bit logic behind lock initialization since for most of the console driver it's supposed to have lock already initialized even if console is not enabled. However, it's not the case for Freescale IMX console.

Initialize lock explicitly in the ->probe().

Note, there is still an open question should or shouldn't not this driver register console properly.
