John Ogness d0b309a5d3 serial: 8250: synchronize and annotate UART_IER access
The UART_IER register is modified twice by each console write
(serial8250_console_write()) under the port lock. Any driver code that
accesses UART_IER must do so with the port locked in order to ensure
consistent values, even when for read accesses.

Add locking, lockdep notation, and/or comments everywhere UART_IER is
accessed. The added locking is not fixing a real problem because it
occurs where the console is not active. However, adding the locking
to these non-critical paths greatly simplifies UART_IER access
tracking by establishing a general policy that all UART_IER access
is performed with the port locked.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
