Hi John,
Would this also be useful to enable printing to console while under port's
lock (by postponing the output until the lock is released)?
E.g., 8250_dw.c has had this commented out since the dawn on time:
/*
* FIXME: this deadlocks if port->lock is already held
* dev_err(p->dev, "Couldn't set LCR to %d\n", value);
*/
