Subject: [PATCH 3.19 138/175] serial: fsl_lpuart: delete timer on shutdown

3.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stefan Agner <stefan@...er.ch>

commit 4a8588a1cf867333187d9ff071e6fbdab587d194 upstream.

If the serial port gets closed while a RX transfer is in progress,
the timer might fire after the serial port shutdown finished. This
leads in a NULL pointer dereference:

Setup the timer on UART startup which allows to delete the timer
unconditionally on shutdown. This also saves the initialization
on each transfer.
