Subject: [PATCH 5.17 183/343] serial: samsung_tty: do not unlock port->lock for uart_write_wakeup()

From: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@...e.cz>

[ Upstream commit 988c7c00691008ea1daaa1235680a0da49dab4e8 ]

The commit c15c3747ee32 (serial: samsung: fix potential soft lockup
during uart write) added an unlock of port->lock before
uart_write_wakeup() and a lock after it. It was always problematic to
write data from tty_ldisc_ops::write_wakeup and it was even documented
that way. We fixed the line disciplines to conform to this recently.
So if there is still a missed one, we should fix them instead of this
workaround.

On the top of that, s3c24xx_serial_tx_dma_complete() in this driver
still holds the port->lock while calling uart_write_wakeup().

So revert the wrap added by the commit above.
