    serial: imx: drop workaround for forced irq threading · 9baedb7b
    Johan Hovold authored
    Force-threaded interrupt handlers used to run with interrupts enabled,
    something which could lead to deadlocks in case a threaded handler
    shared a lock with code running in hard interrupt context (e.g. timer
    callbacks) and did not explicitly disable interrupts.
    
    This was specifically the case for serial drivers that take the port
    lock in their console write path as printk can be called from hard
    interrupt context also with forced threading ("threadirqs").
    
    Since commit 81e2073c ("genirq: Disable interrupts for force
    threaded handlers") interrupt handlers always run with interrupts
    disabled on non-RT so that drivers no longer need to do handle this.
    
    Drop the now obsolete workaround added by commit 33f16855 ("tty:
    serial: imx: fix potential deadlock").
