[PATCH v2 6/7] serial: 8250: Add late synchronize_irq() to shutdown to handle DW UART BUSY

["Ilpo Järvinen" <ilpo.jarvinen@linux.intel.com>]

When DW UART is !uart_16550_compatible, it can indicate BUSY at any
point (when under constant Rx pressure) unless a complex sequence of
steps is performed. Any LCR write can run a foul with the condition
that prevents writing LCR while the UART is BUSY, which triggers
BUSY_DETECT interrupt that seems unmaskable using IER bits.

Normal flow is that dw8250_handle_irq() handles BUSY_DETECT condition
by reading USR register. This BUSY feature, however, breaks the
assumptions made in serial8250_do_shutdown(), which runs
synchronize_irq() after clearing IER and assumes no interrupts can
occur after that point but then proceeds to update LCR, which on DW
UART can trigger an interrupt.

If serial8250_do_shutdown() releases the interrupt handler before the
handler has run and processed the BUSY_DETECT condition by read the USR
register, the IRQ is not deasserted resulting in interrupt storm that
triggers "irq x: nobody cared" warning leading to disabling the IRQ.

Add late synchronize_irq() into serial8250_do_shutdown() to ensure
BUSY_DETECT from DW UART is handled before port's interrupt handler is
released. Alternative would be to add DW UART specific shutdown
function but it would mostly duplicate the generic code and the extra
synchronize_irq() seems pretty harmless in serial8250_do_shutdown().
