Xilinx AXI UART Lite v2.0[1] has the following clause for both RX and TX
FIFO respectively:
When a read request is issued to an empty FIFO, a bus error (SLVERR) is
generated and the result is undefined.
When a write request is issued while the FIFO is full, a bus
error (SLVERR) is generated and the data is not written into the FIFO.
To protect this, we have:
xlnx_uartlite_read_status(dev) & STAT_REG_RX_FIFO_VALID_DATA, and
xlnx_uartlite_read_status(dev) & STAT_REG_TX_FIFO_FULL
but these are not enough for multi-threaded apps. Consider two threads
calling poll_out(), it is always possible for a thread to be swapped out
right after reading the status register, the other thread fill the TX FIFO,
and the original thread is swapped back to write more data to the FIFO
because previously read status doesn't indicate the FIFO is full.
To close this race condition, this commit uses a spinlock for each FIFO.
This ensures that only one thread accesses the FIFO even for SMP cases.
This closes#45302.
