Hi, This is v6 of a series to convert the 8250 driver to an NBCON console, providing both threaded and atomic printing implementations. v5 of this series is here [0]. Note that v5 was pulled into the 6.14 merge window, but was then reverted before the 6.14-rc1 release due to kernel test robot problems. It turned out that the problems were related to general 8250 driver issues. Those issues have now been addressed mainline, paving the way for a second take at converting the 8250 driver to NBCON. This time we have Sashiko, which is sure to provide some insights that we oversaw with v5. The changes since v5: - A new @avoid_modem_status_work field is added to struct uart_8250_port in order to avoid handling modem control during the suspend/resume window. - Handle any pending modem control on resume. - Allow serial8250_fifo_wait_for_lsr_thre() to be called with wctxt=NULL since the helper is now used in dw8250_idle_enter().
