For below code, there has chance to cause deadlock in SMP system: Thread 1: clk_enable_lock(); pr_info("debug message"); clk_enable_unlock(); Thread 2: imx_uart_console_write() clk_enable() clk_enable_lock(); Thread 1: Acuired clk enable_lock -> printk -> console_trylock_spinning Thread 2: console_unlock() -> imx_uart_console_write -> clk_disable -> Acquite clk enable_lock So the patch is to keep console port clocks always on like other console drivers.

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.
