Move the request_irq() call to the end of the msm_startup(),
so that we don't handle interrupts while msm_startup() is
running. This avoids potential races while initialization
is in progress. For example, consider below scenario
where rx handler reads the intermediate value of dma->chan,
set in msm_request_rx_dma(), and tries to do dma mapping,
which results in data abort.
uart_port_startup()
msm_startup()
request_irq()
...
msm_request_rx_dma()
...
dma->chan = dma_request_slave_channel_reason(dev, "rx");
<UART RX IRQ>
msm_uart_irq()
msm_handle_rx_dm()
msm_start_rx_dma()
dma->desc = dma_map_single()
<data abort>

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
