Why is this handler running as the primary handler to begin with?
There is
  stm32_usart_rs485_rts_disable()
  -> mctrl_gpio_set()
     -> gpiod_set_array_value()
        -> gpiod_set_array_value_complex()
          -> gpio_chip_set_multiple()
	    -> gc->set_multiple() || gc->set() ?
          -> bitmap_alloc() boom

I don't know if the underlying gpiod is always using a raw_spinlock_t
but that bitmap_alloc() (depending on FASTPATH_NGPIO()) is not going to
work.
pm_wakeup_dev_event() is also using a spinlock_t.


-	if ((sr & USART_SR_TXE) && !(stm32_port->tx_ch)) {
-		spin_lock(&port->lock);
-		stm32_usart_transmit_chars(port);
-		spin_unlock(&port->lock);
-	}
+	if ((sr & USART_SR_TXE) && !(stm32_port->tx_ch))
+		return IRQ_WAKE_THREAD;

Before that, there is a "stm32_port->throttled" check using the very
same lock.

  	if (stm32_usart_rx_dma_enabled(port))
  		return IRQ_WAKE_THREAD;

Is the suggestion therefore to completely remove the hard IRQ handler and move everything into the threaded IRQ handler ?

Are there any drawbacks of doing that to a serial port driver ?
