For RS485 mode, if SER_RS485_RX_DURING_TX is not available, the
console write callback needs to enable/disable TX. It does this
by calling the rs485_start/stop_tx() callbacks. However, these
callbacks will disable/enable interrupts, which is a problem
for console write, as it must be responsible for
disabling/enabling interrupts.

Add an argument @in_con to the rs485_start/stop_tx() callbacks
to specify if they are being called from console write. If so,
the callbacks will not handle interrupt disabling/enabling.

For all call sites other than console write, there is no
functional change.

Would it make sense to propagate in_con into serial8250_stop_rx() and do 
the logic there? That would effectively eliminate patch 2/6.

I considered this, however:

1. The whole idea of stopping RX in order to do TX is an RS485
issue. Modifying the general ->stop_rx() callback for this purpose is
kind of out of place.

2. The ->stop_rx() callback is a general uart_ops callback. Changing its
prototype would literally affect all serial drivers. OTOH the
->rs485_start_tx() callback is specific to the 8250 driver. (It seems
each driver has implemented their own method for handling the RS485
hacks.)

So I would prefer to keep the necessary RS485 changes 8250-specific for
now.

It is not clear to me what exactly is the problem. Is the main
problem calling pm_runtime*() API because it uses extra locks
and can cause deadlocks? Or is it more complicated?

IMHO, it would deserve some explanation.

It looks like the code does what the description says. And honestly,
I do not have any idea how to improve the naming. I would keep
it as is after reading John's answers in the thread.

IMHO, one thing which makes things comlicated is that
serial8250_em485_start_tx() and serial8250_em485_stop_tx()
are not completely reversible operations. Especially,
the change done by __serial8250_stop_rx_mask_dr() is
not reverted in serial8250_em485_stop_tx(). It makes
things look tricky. But I think that it is beyond the scope
of this patchset to do anything about it.

Just 2 my cents.

Best Regaards,
Petr
