This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
serial: sirf: fix kernel panic caused by unpaired spinlock
to my tty git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
in the tty-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Root cause:
the commit dropped uart_port->lock before calling tty_flip_buffer_push(), but in sirfsoc-uart,
sirfsoc_uart_pio_rx_chars() can be called by sirfsoc_rx_tmo_process_tl(). here uart_port->lock
has not been taken yet. so that caused unpaired lock/unlock.
Solution:
This patch is doing a quick fix for that, it adds spin_lock/unlock(&port->lock) protect to
sirfsoc_uart_pio_rx_chars() in sirfsoc_rx_tmo_process_tl() to keep spin_lock/unlock in pair.
