commit 0ae9fdefb6c37237d826d6195e27810ffcc0b6e0 upstream.

Since commit 18dfef9c7f87 ("serial: atmel: convert to irq handling
provided mctrl-gpio"), interrupts from GPIOs are not disabled any more
when the serial port is closed, leading to an oops when the one of the
input pin is toggled (CTS/DSR/DCD/RNG).

This is only the case if those pins are used as GPIOs, i.e. declared
like that:
usart1: serial@f8020000 {
        /* CTS and DTS will be handled by GPIO */
        status = "okay";
        rts-gpios = <&pioB 17 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
        cts-gpios = <&pioB 16 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
        dtr-gpios = <&pioB 14 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
        dsr-gpios = <&pioC 31 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
        rng-gpios = <&pioB 12 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
        dcd-gpios = <&pioB 15 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
};

That's because modem interrupts used to be freed in atmel_shutdown().
After commit 18dfef9c7f87 ("serial: atmel: convert to irq handling
provided mctrl-gpio"), this code was just removed.
Calling atmel_disable_ms() disables the interrupts and everything works
fine again.

Tested on at91sam9g35-cm

(This patch doesn't apply on -stable kernels, fixes for 4.4 and 4.7 will
be sent after this one is applied.)
