[PATCH 5/5] serial/aspeed-vuart: Implement quick throttle mechanism

[Jeremy Kerr]

Hi Joel,

Sure. The initial versions were the standard callbacks for struct
uart_ops, which all need to take the port lock.

Patch 5/5 needs a lockless version of these for calling from the irq
handler, which already has the lock held. So, we introduce the
__-versions there.

I could add the lockless version in the earlier 4.5 patch, but it looks
a bit redundant there. Happy to go either way. Or, I can elaborate why
in the commit log (I'll need a v2 anyway for the setup_timer change...).

Cheers,


Jeremy
