When I combined kgdboc_earlycon with an inflight patch titled ("soc:
qcom-geni-se: Add interconnect support to fix earlycon crash") [1]
things went boom. Specifically I got a crash during the transition
between kgdboc_earlycon and the main kgdboc that looked like this:

The problem was that we were holding the "kgdb_registration_lock"
while calling into code that didn't expect to be called in spinlock
context.
Let's slightly defer when we call the deinit code so that it's not
done under spinlock.
NOTE: this does mean that the "deinit" call of the old kgdb IO module
is now made _after_ the init of the new IO module, but presumably
that's OK.

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.
