Since dev_err() calls can lead to synchronous writes to another serial console these calls can provide significant latency during irq-handling in tegra_uart_isr(). With this latency another interrupt is likely to apper during handling of the first interrupt, which might lock up the kernel completely. These errors are reported to the error counters so converting the dev_err() to dev_dbg() is appropriate.
