Subject: [PATCH 3/3] serial: mxs-auart: move irq handling to a tasklet

From: [email-masked] (Marek Vasut)
Date: Fri, 29 Nov 2013 18:00:12 +0100

Dear Hector Palacios,

> The ISR was handling CTS flag and RX/TX processing.
> Occasionally interrupts were coming in the middle of the ISR and
> led to blocking transmission (with hw flow) or loss of data.
> This patch moves this processing to a tasklet that the ISR schedules.

Aren't you up for a nice race condition here if you get interrupt while checking 
the s->irq_status bits in the tasklet ?
