Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 17/18] Bluetooth: hci_uart: fix race during initialization

From: Arseniy Krasnov <avkrasnov@...utedevices.com>

[ Upstream commit 366ceff495f902182d42b6f41525c2474caf3f9a ]

'hci_register_dev()' calls power up function, which is executed by
kworker - 'hci_power_on()'. This function does access to bluetooth chip
using callbacks from 'hci_ldisc.c', for example 'hci_uart_send_frame()'.
Now 'hci_uart_send_frame()' checks 'HCI_UART_PROTO_READY' bit set, and
if not - it fails. Problem is that 'HCI_UART_PROTO_READY' is set after
'hci_register_dev()', and there is tiny chance that 'hci_power_on()' will
be executed before setting this bit. In that case HCI init logic fails.

Patch moves setting of 'HCI_UART_PROTO_READY' before calling function
'hci_uart_register_dev()'.
