+Subject: [PATCH 009/134] serial: 8250_exar: Use port lock wrappers
+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.6/older/patches-6.6.7-rt18.tar.xz
+
+When a serial port is used for kernel console output, then all
+modifications to the UART registers which are done from other contexts,
+e.g. getty, termios, are interference points for the kernel console.
+
+So far this has been ignored and the printk output is based on the
+principle of hope. The rework of the console infrastructure which aims to
+support threaded and atomic consoles, requires to mark sections which
+modify the UART registers as unsafe. This allows the atomic write function
+to make informed decisions and eventually to restore operational state. It
+also allows to prevent the regular UART code from modifying UART registers
+while printk output is in progress.
+
+All modifications of UART registers are guarded by the UART port lock,
+which provides an obvious synchronization point with the console
+infrastructure.
+
+To avoid adding this functionality to all UART drivers, wrap the
+spin_[un]lock*() invocations for uart_port::lock into helper functions
+which just contain the spin_[un]lock*() invocations for now. In a
+subsequent step these helpers will gain the console synchronization
+mechanisms.
+
+Converted with coccinelle. No functional change.
