Commit 677fe55 (serial: imx: Fix recursive locking bug) introduces an
uninitialized variable warning as below.

  CC      drivers/tty/serial/imx.o
drivers/tty/serial/imx.c: In function ‘imx_console_write’:
include/linux/spinlock.h:340:2: warning: ‘flags’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]
drivers/tty/serial/imx.c:1214:16: note: ‘flags’ was declared here

Initialize the variable to suppress the warning.

commit 9ec1882df2 (tty: serial: imx: console write routing is unsafe
on SMP) introduced a recursive locking bug in imx_console_write().

The callchain is:

imx_rxint()
  spin_lock_irqsave(&sport->port.lock,flags);
  ...
  uart_handle_sysrq_char();
    sysrq_function();
      printk();
        imx_console_write();
          spin_lock_irqsave(&sport->port.lock,flags); <--- DEAD

The bad news is that the kernel debugging facilities can dectect the
problem, but the printks never surface on the serial console for
obvious reasons.

There is a similar issue with oops_in_progress. If the kernel crashes
we really don't want to be stuck on the lock and unable to tell what
happened.

In general most UP originated drivers miss these checks and nobody
ever notices because CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING seems to be still ignored by
a large number of developers.

The solution is to avoid locking in the sysrq case and trylock in the
oops_in_progress case.

This scheme is used in other drivers as well and it would be nice if
we could move this to a common place, so the usual copy/paste/modify
bugs can be avoided.

Now there is another issue with this scheme:

CPU0 	    	     	 CPU1
printk()
			 rxint()
			   sysrq_detection() -> sets port->sysrq
			 return from interrupt
  console_write()
     if (port->sysrq)
     	avoid locking

port->sysrq is reset with the next receive character. So as long as
the port->sysrq is not reset and this can take an endless amount of
time if after the break no futher receive character follows, all
console writes happen unlocked.

While the current writer is protected against other console writers by
the console sem, it's unprotected against open/close or other
operations which fiddle with the port. That's what the above mentioned
commit tried to solve.

That's an issue in all drivers which use that scheme and unfortunately
there is no easy workaround. The only solution is to have a separate
indicator port->sysrq_cpu. uart_handle_sysrq_char() then sets it to
smp_processor_id() before calling into handle_sysrq() and resets it to
-1 after that. Then change the locking check to:

     if (port->sysrq_cpu == smp_processor_id())
     	 locked = 0;
     else if (oops_in_progress)
         locked = spin_trylock_irqsave(port->lock, flags);
     else
  	 spin_lock_irqsave(port->lock, flags);

That would force all other cpus into the spin_lock path. Problem
solved, but that's way beyond the scope of this fix and really wants
to be implemented in a common function which calls the uart specific
write function to avoid another gazillion of hard to debug
copy/paste/modify bugs.

This reverts commit cdc8da3998dcc50cee2f81904c16ebdbd7ec2cee.

In my attempt to fix a build warning on arm randconfig a build error on
imx_v6_v7_defconfig was introduced, so revert it for now.

If CONFIG_CONSOLE_POLL is not defined, the following build warning happens:

drivers/tty/serial/imx.c:274:13: warning: 'imx_port_ucrs_save' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
drivers/tty/serial/imx.c:283:13: warning: 'imx_port_ucrs_restore' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]

Move imx_port_ucrs_saver/restore under CONFIG_CONSOLE_POLL ifdef block to fix it.

Now, we start converting tty buffer functions to actually use
tty_port. This will allow us to get rid of the need of tty in many
call sites. Only tty_port will needed and hence no more
tty_port_tty_get in those paths.

Now, the one where most of tty_port_tty_get gets removed:
tty_flip_buffer_push.

IOW we also closed all the races in drivers not using tty_port_tty_get
at all yet.

Also we move tty_flip_buffer_push declaration from include/linux/tty.h
to include/linux/tty_flip.h to all others while we are changing it
anyway.

tty_insert_flip_char is the next one to proceed. This one is used all
over the code, so the patch is huge.
