Do you know where exactly it was deadlocked? As fas as sunzilog goes the only change was that instead of embedding serio structure inside uart_sunzilog_port it is now accessed through a pointer. The rest of the changes are in serio core and should not depend on type of serio port involved, locking rules have not been changed either...
Any additional info will be appreciated...
