Subject: [PATCH 3/3] serial: 8250_dw: Fix clk-notifier/port suspend deadlock

It has been discovered that there is a potential deadlock between
the clock-change-notifier thread and the UART port suspending one:

   CPU0 (suspend CPU/UART)   CPU1 (update clock)
            ----                    ----
   lock(&port->mutex);
                             lock((work_completion)(&data->clk_work));
                             lock(&port->mutex);
   lock((work_completion)(&data->clk_work));

   *** DEADLOCK ***

The best way to fix this is to eliminate the CPU0
port->mutex/work-completion scenario. So we suggest to register and
unregister the clock-notifier during the DW APB UART port probe/remove
procedures, instead of doing that at the points of the port
startup/shutdown.
