serial: 8250_dw: Fix clk-notifier/port suspend deadlock
It has been discovered that there is a potential deadlock between the clock-change-notifier thread and the UART port suspending one: CPU0 (suspend CPU/UART) CPU1 (update clock) ---- ---- lock(&port->mutex); lock((work_completion)(&data->clk_work)); lock(&port->mutex); lock((work_completion)(&data->clk_work)); *** DEADLOCK *** The best way to fix this is to eliminate the CPU0 port->mutex/work-completion scenario. So we suggest to register and unregister the clock-notifier during the DW APB UART port probe/remove procedures, instead of doing that at the points of the port startup/shutdown.
