The following deadlock has been observed:

imx_int() {
   imx_txint() {
     spin_lock_irqsave(&sport->port.lock,flags);
     /* ^^^uart_port spinlock taken in imx_txint */
     imx_transmit_buffer() {
       uart_write_wakeup(&sport->port) {
         tty_wakeup() {
           hci_uart_tty_wakeup() {
             hci_uart_tx_wakeup() {
               uart_write() {
                 spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock, flags);
                 /* ^^^deadlock here when spinlock is taken again */
                   .
                   .
                   .
                 spin_unlock_irqrestore(&port->lock, flags);
               }
             }
           }
         }
       }
     }
     spin_unlock_irqrestore(&sport->port.lock,flags);
   }
}

To correct this call uart_write_wakeup() at the end of imx_txint() after
the uart_port spinlock is unlocked.

I think this patch :

https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/20/623

has fixed this deadlock.

We can ignore this patch now.

thanks
