uart_ops startup() callback is called without interrupts
disabled and without port->lock locked, relatively late during the
boot process (from the call path of console_on_rootfs()). If the
device is a console, it was already previously registered and could
be actively printing messages.
The console printing function serial8250_console_write() modifies
the interrupt register (UART_IER) under the port->lock with the
pattern: read, clear, restore.
Since some startup() callbacks are modifying UART_IER without the
port->lock locked, it is possible that the value intended to be
written by the startup() callback will get overwritten and be
lost.

-------------------------- -----------------
spin_lock(port->lock)
oldval = read(UART_IER)
uart_console_write()
write(newval, UART_IER)
write(oldval, UART_IER)
spin_unlock(port->lock)
Add port->lock synchronization to the 8250 startup() callbacks
where they need to access UART_IER. This avoids racing with
serial8250_console_write().

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.
