Subject: [PATCH LINUX v4 02/13] tty: xuartps: Use spinlock to serialize HW access

Instead of disabling the IRQ, use the spin lock to serialize accesses to
the HW. This protects the driver from interference of non-IRQ callbacks
with each other and makes the driver more consistent in its
serialization method.
