In serial8250_isa_init_ports(), the port's lock is initialized. We
should not overwrite it. Only copy in the fields we need.
I suggest you to send all the 8250 patches to
linux-serial@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and most probably the LKML. I don't think
the relevant maintainers read this list -- note that they will be the
general Linux maintainers as the serial subsystem doesn't have a dedicated
one at the moment. Please always consult the MAINTAINERS file before
posting patches (see Documentation/SubmittingPatches too).
Thanks, we are aware of this. All the serial patches had been
previously sent as you suggest.
The next revision of this patch set will go to a wider audience,
including linux-serial@ as appropriate.
