From 995234da19b927f42722d796e8270384f33be11c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Miao Date: Fri, 23 Dec 2011 05:39:27 +0800 Subject: tty: serial: imx: move del_timer_sync() to avoid potential deadlock del_timer_sync() acquires its own lock and doesn't have to be nested within the spinlock of sport->port.lock in imx_set_termios(), which will cause potential deadlock. Fix this by moving it outside.
