If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Geert Uytterhoeven commit ff1cab374ad98f4b9f408525ca9c08992b4ed784 upstream. The BSP team noticed that there is spin/mutex lock issue on sh-sci when CPUFREQ is used. The issue is that the notifier function may call mutex_lock() while the spinlock is held, which can lead to a BUG(). This may happen if CPUFREQ is changed while another CPU calls clk_get_rate(). Taking the spinlock was added to the notifier function in commit e552de2413edad1a ("sh-sci: add platform device private data"), to protect the list of serial ports against modification during traversal. At that time the Common Clock Framework didn't exist yet, and clk_get_rate() just returned clk->rate without taking a mutex. Note that since commit d535a2305facf9b4 ("serial: sh-sci: Require a device per port mapping."), there's no longer a list of serial ports to traverse, and taking the spinlock became superfluous. To fix the issue, just remove the cpufreq notifier: 1. The notifier doesn't work correctly: all it does is update the stored clock rate; it does not update the divider in the hardware. The divider will only be updated when calling sci_set_termios(). I believe this was broken back in 2004, when the old drivers/char/sh-sci.c driver (where the notifier did update the divider) was replaced by drivers/serial/sh-sci.c (where the notifier just updated port->uartclk). Cfr. full-history-linux commits 6f8deaef2e9675d9 ("[PATCH] sh: port sh-sci driver to the new API") and 3f73fe878dc9210a ("[PATCH] Remove old sh-sci driver"). 2. On modern SoCs, the sh-sci parent clock rate is no longer related to the CPU clock rate anyway, so using a cpufreq notifier is futile.
