Subject: [PATCH 3/3] serial: imx: avoid crash when un/re-binding serial console device
Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2018 18:49:40 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181114174940.7865-3-stefan@agner.ch> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181114174940.7865-1-stefan@agner.ch>

If the device used as a serial console gets un/re-binded, then
register_console() will call imx_uart_setup_console() again.
Drop __init so that imx_uart_setup_console() can be safely called
at runtime.

This addresses a kernel panic seen when unbinding/rebinding the i.MX
UART which is serial console on i.MX 6/7 via SSH:
# cd /sys/bus/platform/drivers/imx-uart/
# echo 30860000.serial > unbind && echo 30860000.serial > bind

console [ttymxc0] disabled
30860000.serial: ttymxc0 at MMIO 0x30860000 (irq = 52, base_baud = 1500000) is a IMX

It seems that also other drivers are affected. An alternative might be
to disallow unbinding/rebinding instead.
