Commit ead76f329f77 ("ARM: 6763/1: pl011: add optional RX DMA to PL011 v2") added RX DMA support and also reproduced the workaround for the infamous low_latency behaviour of tty_flip_buffer_push() by dropping and reacquiring the port lock during receive processing. Since commit a9c3f68f3cd8 ("tty: Fix low_latency BUG"), tty_flip_buffer_push() always schedules a work item to push data to the line discipline and there's no need to keep any low_latency hacks around. Note that the port lock is also dropped in the PIO path (see pl011_rx_chars), but it is not clear whether this is still needed by the DMA code added by the aforementioned commit.
