Subject: [PATCH 1/2] dmaengine: fsl-edma: Add lockdep assert for exported function

Add lockdep assert for an exported function expected to be called under
spin lock. Since this function is called in different modules, the
lockdep assert will be self-documenting note about need for locking.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] dmaengine: fsl-edma: Fix NULL pointer exception in fsl_edma_tx_handler

NULL pointer exception happens occasionally on serial output initiated
by login timeout. This was reproduced only if kernel was built with
significant debugging options and EDMA driver is used with serial
console.

col-vf50 login: root

Login timed out after 60 seconds.

Issue looks like race condition between interrupt handler fsl_edma_tx_handler()
(called as result of fsl_edma_xfer_desc()) and terminating the transfer with
fsl_edma_terminate_all().

The fsl_edma_tx_handler() handles interrupt for a transfer with already freed
edesc and idle==true.

Sure. I'll make another commit as it should be backported to different
kernel.

Subject: [PATCH] dmaengine: mcf-edma: Fix NULL pointer exception in mcf_edma_tx_handler

On Toradex Colibri VF50 (Vybrid VF5xx) with fsl-edma driver NULL pointer
exception happens occasionally on serial output initiated by login
timeout.

This was reproduced only if kernel was built with significant debugging
options and EDMA driver is used with serial console.

Issue looks like a race condition between interrupt handler
fsl_edma_tx_handler() (called as a result of fsl_edma_xfer_desc()) and
terminating the transfer with fsl_edma_terminate_all().

The fsl_edma_tx_handler() handles interrupt for a transfer with already
freed edesc and idle==true.

The mcf-edma driver shares design and lot of code with fsl-edma. It
looks like being affected by same problem. Fix this pattern the same
way as fix for fsl-edma driver.
