From: Ahmed S. Darwish <a.darwish@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The usage of in_interrupt() in drivers is phased out and Linus clearly requested that code which changes behaviour depending on context should either be separated or the context be conveyed in an argument passed by the caller, which usually knows the context. The debug printk() in digi_write() prints in_interrupt() as context information. TTY writes happen always in preemptible task context and console writes can happen from almost any context, so in_interrupt() is not really helpful. Aside of that issuing a printk() from a console->write() callback is not a really brilliant idea for obvious reasons. Remove the in_interrupt() printout and make the printk() depend on tty.
