Subject: [PATCH 0/4] serial: sh-sci: response to Dirk's bugreport

Investigating the issue Dirk reported [1], and after the RFC sent[2],
here is now the series with my conclusions. Patch 1 fixes a real issue
IMHO and is the minimal solution for backporting. Patch 2 adds some
documentation. Patch 3 reduces potential race windows by letting the
timer only run when we really want it. Patch 4 is a simplification
because locking should be as simple as possible, right?

I could trigger the code path meanwhile and did not encounter a
regression. But I could not reproduce the initial report from Dirk, so I
can't say this is a 100% fix. Yet, I think, we want these patches
nonetheless. Dirk metioned that his system could have been shutting
down. If so, patch 1 is probably the solution, but we don't know for
sure.
