Char: moxa, fix locking in moxa_write
moxa_write can be called from atomic context with irqs disabled (from ppp_async_push). Don't enable interrupts by spin_unlock_bh as this might cause deadlocks in the ppp layer. Instead, use irqsave/irqrestore spin_lock functions. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
