The current driver triggers a lockdep warning for if tty_flip_buffer_push() is
called with uart_port->lock locked. This never shows up on UP kernels and comes
up only on SMP kernels.

Crash looks like this (produced with samsung.c driver):

Release the port lock before calling tty_flip_buffer_push() and reacquire it
after the call.

Similar stuff was already done for few other drivers in the past, like:
