[PATCH 1/4] tty/serial: at91: Handle shutdown more safely

[Nicolas Ferre]

From: Marek Roszko <mark.roszko at gmail.com>

Interrupts were being cleaned up late in the shutdown handler, it is possible
that an interrupt can occur and schedule a tasklet that runs after the port is
cleaned up. There is a null dereference due to this race condition with the
following stacktrace:

[<c02092b0>] (atmel_tasklet_func+0x514/0x814) from [<c001fd34>] (tasklet_action+0x70/0xa8)
