I don't think a Fixes tag is warranted as this is only needed due to
this undocumented quirk of PREEMPT_RT.

And this should not be backported in any case.

This is not needed as the handler runs with interrupts disabled.

But you could change this to spin_lock() now.

You should also remove

	/*
	 * Using DMA and threaded handler for the console could lead to
	 * deadlocks.
	 */
	if (uart_console(port))
		return -ENODEV;

from stm32_usart_of_dma_rx_probe() when removing the threaded handler.
