Here is the back trace:

This is how I generated the trace:

static void pruss_suart_enable_ms(struct uart_port *port)
{
        struct omapl_pru_suart *soft_uart =
            container_of(port, struct omapl_pru_suart, port[port->line]);
        struct device *dev = soft_uart->dev;

        WARN_ON(1);
        dev_dbg(dev, "modem control timer not supported\n");
}
