4.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazz...@free-electrons.com>
commit c2c1659b4f8f9e19fe82a4fd06cca4b3d59090ce upstream.
As suggested by the serial port infrastructure documentation, the IRQ is
requested in ->startup(). However, it is never freed in the ->shutdown()
hook.
With simple systems that open the serial port once for all and always
have at least one process that keep the serial port opened, there was no
problem. But with a more complicated system (*cough* systemd *cough*),
the serial port is opened/closed many times, which at some point no
processes having the serial port open at all. Due to this ->startup()
gets called again, tries to request_irq() again, which fails.
Fixes: 30530791a7a0 ("serial: mvebu-uart: initial support for Armada-3700
serial port")
