Continuing on the Apalis iMX6 mainlining work started by Petr Štetiar I noticed that it only boots when rebooting from NXP's downstream 3.14.28 kernel or mainline otherwise (e.g. when cold booted) I did not get any serial debug output at all. Enabling earlyprintk I got the following: [ 1.136806] INFO: trying to register non-static key. [ 1.136871] 2020000.serial: ttymxc0 at MMIO 0x2020000 (irq = 25, base_baud = 5000000) is a IMX [ 1.150651] the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.

Turns out the data carrier detect interrupt fired immediately upon requesting interrupts. This patch fixes this by explicitly disabling data carrier detect before requesting interrupts.
