Re: [ANNOUNCE] v6.6-rc4-rt7

[Pierre Gondois <pierre.gondois@arm.com>]

Hello Sebastian,
The following happened once [1]. In pl011_console_write() from:
   commit da042bbb7a3f ("printk: Update the printk series.")
&uap->port seems to be released, but various paths don't seem
to acquire the lock,

Regards,
Pierre
