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.

All calls to neo_copy_data_from_uart_to_queue() are safeguarded
against NULL dereference of its parameter, except the one that
this patch changes.
That said, let's play safe and check for NULL in this case too.

After inspection made by Markus using Coccinelle software, he
observed that we could possibly be triggering a NULL pointer
dereference in 2 functions [0].
After discussion in mailing list, it was observed in fact
we have two unnecessary checks for NULL pointer, and they
were leading to Coccinelle warn. So, instead of reworking
the code as proposed by him, we hereby remove the
unnecessary checks, and also some unneeded extra lines in
the code.
These two unnecessary NULL checks were tracked in the call
chain as never NULL, so they can be safely removed.
No functional changes are intended.

"brd->nasync" amd "brd->maxports" are the same. They hold the number of
filled out channels in the brd->channels[] array. These tests should
be ">=" instead of ">" so that we don't read one element past the end.

The changed function flushes the tx UART and the '4' corresponds to the

The flow of {neo,cls}_param() shows that at this stage the baud rate
has a non-zero value. This fact makes the if clausule obsolete and

The 'force' parameter to the {cls,neo}_send_break() function has been
removed because it has not been used. The client to this API (the tty

jsm uses a write queue that copies from uart_core circular buffer. This
copying however has some bugs, like not wrapping the head counter. Since
this write queue is also a circular buffer, the consumer function is
ready to use the uart_core circular buffer directly.
This buggy copying function was making some bytes be dropped when
transmitting to a raw tty, doing something like this.

The serial drivers are really just tty drivers, so move them to
drivers/tty/ to make things a bit neater overall.
This is part of the tty/serial driver movement proceedure as proposed by
Arnd Bergmann and approved by everyone involved a number of months ago.
