commit 33f16855dcb973f745c51882d0e286601ff3be2b upstream.
Enabling the lock dependency validator has revealed that the way spinlocks are used in the IMX serial port could result in a deadlock.
Specifically, imx_uart_int() acquires a spinlock without disabling the interrupts, meaning that another interrupt could come along and try to acquire the same spinlock, potentially causing the two to wait for each other indefinitely.
Use spin_lock_irqsave() instead to disable interrupts upon acquisition of the spinlock.
