Hi all.

We have encountered a spinlock lockup in the RS485 part of the
atmel_serial driver.

Here is the trace:

[ 68.030000] BUG: spinlock lockup on CPU#0, dnp_master/244, c07e82c0

The soft lockup occurs later

The following patch (already tested by Dave, who also reported the bug)
fixes the problem.

Claudio, can you please send the patch to Alan with my "Acked-by" and an
addition to Linux stable just after the signature lines:

Cc: stable<stable@xxxxxxxxxx>

That address has been invalid since August, please use
stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx now.

Hi Greg,

here is the patch with the right address.

Many thanks for taking care of it.

Best regards,

Claudio
