commit 7fd6f640f2 upstream.
Trying to write console output from within the serial console driver
while the port->lock is held causes recursive deadlock:
CPU 0
spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock)
printk()
console_unlock()
call_console_drivers()
serial8250_console_write()
spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock)
** DEADLOCK **
The 8250_dw i/o accessors try to write a console error message if the
LCR workaround was unsuccessful. When the port->lock is already held
(eg., when called from serial8250_set_termios()), this deadlocks.
Make the error message a FIXME until a general solution is devised.
