dmaengine: mediatek: Fix deadlock caused by synchronize_irq()
The synchronize_irq(c->irq) will not return until the IRQ handler mtk_uart_apdma_irq_handler() is completed. If the synchronize_irq() holds a spin_lock and waits the IRQ handler to complete, but the IRQ handler also needs the same spin_lock. The deadlock will happen. The process is shown below: cpu0 cpu1 mtk_uart_apdma_device_pause() | mtk_uart_apdma_irq_handler() spin_lock_irqsave() | | spin_lock_irqsave() //hold the lock to wait | synchronize_irq() | This patch reorders the synchronize_irq(c->irq) outside the spin_lock in order to mitigate the bug.
