[ Upstream commit 589f892ac8ef244e47c5a00ffd8605daa1eaef8e ]
The uart_ops startup() callback is called without interrupts
disabled and without port->lock locked, relatively late during the
boot process (from the call path of console_on_rootfs()). If the
device is a console, it was already previously registered and could
be actively printing messages.
Since the startup() callback is reading/writing registers used by
the console write() callback (AML_UART_CONTROL), its access must
be synchronized using the port->lock. Currently it is not.
The startup() callback is the only function that explicitly enables
interrupts. Without the synchronization, it is possible that
interrupts become accidentally permanently disabled.

meson_serial_console_write meson_uart_startup
-------------------------- ------------------
spin_lock(port->lock)
val = readl(AML_UART_CONTROL)
uart_console_write()
writel(INT_EN, AML_UART_CONTROL)
writel(val, AML_UART_CONTROL)
spin_unlock(port->lock)
Add port->lock synchronization to meson_uart_startup() to avoid
racing with meson_serial_console_write().
Also add detailed comments to meson_uart_reset() explaining why it
is *not* using port->lock synchronization.
