From: Takatoshi Akiyama <takatoshi.akiyama.kj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch fixes an issue that kernel panic happens when DMA is enabled and we press enter key while the kernel booting on the serial console. * An interrupt may occur after sci_request_irq(). * DMA transfer area is initialized by setup_timer() in sci_request_dma() and used in interrupt. If an interrupt occurred between sci_request_irq() and setup_timer() in sci_request_dma(), DMA transfer area has not been initialized yet. So, this patch changes the order of sci_request_irq() and sci_request_dma(). Fixes: 73a19e4c0301 ("serial: sh-sci: Add DMA support.")
