Ah, is this a console? Maybe this is the same issue that other console
drivers have been having recently, look at:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200428184050.6501-1-john.stultz@linaro.org
and
https://lore.kernel.org/r/1589019852-21505-2-git-send-email-sagar.kadam@sifive.com

Is that what you need here too?

thanks,
