Erwan Le Ray ad76768124 serial: stm32: fix a deadlock condition with wakeup event
Deadlock issue is seen when enabling CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=Y, and uart
console as wakeup source. Deadlock occurs when resuming from low power
mode if system is waked up via usart console.
The deadlock is triggered 100% when also disabling console suspend prior
to go to suspend.

Simplified call stack, deadlock condition:
- stm32_console_write <-- spin_lock already held
- print_circular_bug
- pm_wakeup_dev_event <-- triggers lockdep as seen above
- stm32_receive_chars
- stm32_interrupt <-- wakeup via uart console, takes the lock

So, revisit spin_lock in stm32-usart driver:
- there is no need to hold the lock to access ICR (atomic clear of status
  flags)
- only hold the lock inside stm32_receive_chars() routine (no need to
  call pm_wakeup_dev_event with lock held)
- keep stm32_transmit_chars() routine called with lock held

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
