Subject[PATCH 3/9] Blackfin Serial Driver: use barrier instead of cpu_relax for Blackfin SMP like patch
Date
From: Graf Yang <graf.yang@analog.com>

We are making a SMP like patch to blackfin, cpu_relax() is replaced by a
data cache flush function which will count it to a per-cpu counter.
If this serial function is called too early, the per-cpu data area have
not been initialized, this call will cause crash.
So we'd like to use barrier() instead of cpu_relax().
