Before, sc16is7xx_lines was checked for a free (zero) bit first, and then later it was set only if UART port registration succeeded. Now that sc16is7xx_lines is shared for the I2C and SPI drivers, there is a possibility that the two drivers can simultaneously try to reserve the same line bit at the same time. To prevent this, make sure line allocation is reserved atomically, and use a new variable to hold the status of UART port registration. Now that we no longer need to search if a bit is set, it is now possible to simplify sc16is7xx_lines allocation by using the IDA framework.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
