The synchronize_irq(c->irq) will not return until the IRQ handler
mtk_uart_apdma_irq_handler() is completed. If the synchronize_irq()
holds a spin_lock and waits the IRQ handler to complete, but the
IRQ handler also needs the same spin_lock. The deadlock will happen.
The process is shown below:
cpu0 cpu1
mtk_uart_apdma_device_pause() | mtk_uart_apdma_irq_handler()
spin_lock_irqsave() |
| spin_lock_irqsave()
//hold the lock to wait |
synchronize_irq() |
This patch reorders the synchronize_irq(c->irq) outside the spin_lock
in order to mitigate the bug.

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.
