Makes sense, will add.

uart_try_toggle_sysrq() sometimes is called under
spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock, flags);

And sysrq_toggle_support() calls input_register_handler() internally
which can sleep.

Yes, it's after BREAK. In my POV it's fine as originally it would cause
sysrq handler being called (if sysrq is enabled).

Fair enough, I'll add
#define SYSRQ_TIMEOUT	(HZ*5)

And use it in uart_handle_break() too.

It's for the case when sysrq is already enabled.
Than sysrq_get_mask() will return something and it makes uart call
handle_sysrq() instead of checking the toggle sequence.

Yes, sure.
