[PATCH] tty: serial: meson_uart: Init port lock early

[PATCH] tty: serial: meson_uart: Init port lock early

[Marc Zyngier]

The meson UART driver triggers a lockdep splat at boot time, due
to the new expectation that the driver has to initialize the
per-port spinlock itself.

It remains unclear why a double initialization of the port
spinlock is a desirable outcome, but in the meantime let's
fix the splat.

Thanks!

Can you test patch from [1] if it helps and doesn't break anything in your case?

On its own, this patch doesn't seem to cure the issue (and it
adds a compile-time warning due to unused flags).

Or did you mean to test it in complement of my patch?

Ah, sorry, I didn't compile it.
And after second though I think we simple need to initialise spin lock there.
Can you try below (compile-tested only):

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] serial: core: Initialise spin lock before use in
 uart_configure_port()

In case of the port to be used as a console we must initialise
a spin lock before use.

No, the idea to avoid "fixing" driver as you rightfully noticed a double init issue.

This certainly keeps lockdep quiet on my system. You probably want
to set the lockdep class whilst you're at it (keeping that code
common with uart_port_spin_lock_init).
