If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 54c4ec5f8c471b7c1137a1f769648549c423c026 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Emil Kronborg <emil.kronborg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2024 12:15:36 +0000 Subject: serial: mxs-auart: add spinlock around changing cts state From: Emil Kronborg <emil.kronborg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 54c4ec5f8c471b7c1137a1f769648549c423c026 upstream. The uart_handle_cts_change() function in serial_core expects the caller to hold uport->lock. For example, I have seen the below kernel splat, when the Bluetooth driver is loaded on an i.MX28 board.
