Hmm. So this is uart->port => desc->lock vs desc->lock => uart->port

chain #1:

serial8250_do_startup()
spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock);
disable_irq_nosync(port->irq);
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&desc->lock)

chain #2:

__report_bad_irq()
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&desc->lock)
for_each_action_of_desc()
printk()
spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock);


Breaking up chain #2 is not an option, I suppose. Those are a rather
important KERN_ERR messages, printk_deferred() will upset people badly.

So... Do we need to hold uart->port when we disable port->irq? What do we
race with? Module removal? The function bumps device PM counter (albeit
for UART_CAP_RPM ports only). But, at the same time, we do a whole bunch
of unprotected port->FOO accesses in serial8250_do_startup(). We even set
the IRQF_SHARED up->port.irqflags without grabbing the port->lock:

up->port.irqflags |= IRQF_SHARED;
spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock, flags);
if (up->port.irqflags & IRQF_SHARED)
disable_irq_nosync(port->irq);

IOW, can we do something like this?
