[ Upstream commit 589f892ac8ef244e47c5a00ffd8605daa1eaef8e ]
The uart_ops startup() callback is called without interrupts
disabled and without port->lock locked, relatively late during the
boot process (from the call path of console_on_rootfs()). If the
device is a console, it was already previously registered and could
be actively printing messages.
Since the startup() callback is reading/writing registers used by
the console write() callback (AML_UART_CONTROL), its access must
be synchronized using the port->lock. Currently it is not.
The startup() callback is the only function that explicitly enables
interrupts. Without the synchronization, it is possible that
interrupts become accidentally permanently disabled.

-------------------------- ------------------
spin_lock(port->lock)
val = readl(AML_UART_CONTROL)
uart_console_write()
writel(INT_EN, AML_UART_CONTROL)
writel(val, AML_UART_CONTROL)
spin_unlock(port->lock)
Add port->lock synchronization to meson_uart_startup() to avoid
racing with meson_serial_console_write().
Also add detailed comments to meson_uart_reset() explaining why it
is *not* using port->lock synchronization.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
