[PATCH 1/2] tty: serial_core: Fix serial console crash on port shutdown

From: Rob Herring
Date: Fri Oct 28 2016 - 08:08:20 EST


From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@xxxxxxxxx>

The port->console flag is always false, as uart_console() is called
before the serial console has been registered.

Hence for a serial port used as the console, uart_tty_port_shutdown()
will still be called when userspace closes the port, powering it down.
This may lead to a system lock up when the serial console driver writes
to the serial port's registers.

To fix this, move the setting of port->console after the call to
uart_configure_port(), which registers the serial console.

Fixes: 761ed4a94582ab29 ("tty: serial_core: convert uart_close to use tty_port_close")
