Subject: serial: 8250: Add serial8250_handle_irq_locked()
X-Git-Tag: v7.0-rc5~16^2~5
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8324a54f604da18f21070702a8ad82ab2062787b;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

serial: 8250: Add serial8250_handle_irq_locked()

8250_port exports serial8250_handle_irq() to HW specific 8250 drivers.
It takes port's lock within but a HW specific 8250 driver may want to
take port's lock itself, do something, and then call the generic
handler in 8250_port but to do that, the caller has to release port's
lock for no good reason.

Introduce serial8250_handle_irq_locked() which a HW specific driver can
call while already holding port's lock.

As this is new export, put it straight into a namespace (where all 8250
exports should eventually be moved).
