This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled serial: pl010: Drop CR register reset on set_termios to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: serial-pl010-drop-cr-register-reset-on-set_termios.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 033463a14ed0b0dc31d4c0436cd3938a6f730f96 Author: Lukas Wunner <lukas@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Jan 2 18:42:44 2022 +0100 serial: pl010: Drop CR register reset on set_termios [ Upstream commit 08a0c6dff91c965e39905cf200d22db989203ccb ] pl010_set_termios() briefly resets the CR register to zero. Where does this register write come from? The PL010 driver's IRQ handler ambauart_int() originally modified the CR register without holding the port spinlock. ambauart_set_termios() also modified that register. To prevent concurrent read-modify-writes by the IRQ handler and to prevent transmission while changing baudrate, ambauart_set_termios() had to disable interrupts. That is achieved by writing zero to the CR register. However in 2004 the PL010 driver was amended to acquire the port spinlock in the IRQ handler, obviating the need to disable interrupts in ->set_termios(): https://git.kernel.org/history/history/c/157c0342e591 That rendered the CR register write obsolete. Drop it.
