Commit 44b27ae ("serial: core, 8250: set RS485 termination GPIO in serial core") enabled support for RS485 termination GPIOs behind i2c expanders by setting the GPIO outside of the critical section protected by the port spinlock. Access to the i2c expander may sleep, which caused a splat with the port spinlock held.
Commit 7c7f9bc ("serial: Deassert Transmit Enable on probe in driver-specific way") erroneously regressed that by spinlocking the GPIO manipulation again.
Fix by moving uart_rs485_config() (the function manipulating the GPIO) outside of the spinlocked section and acquiring the spinlock inside of uart_rs485_config() for the invocation of ->rs485_config() only.
This gets us one step closer to pushing the spinlock down into the ->rs485_config() callbacks which actually need it. (Some callbacks do not want to be spinlocked because they perform sleepable register accesses, see e.g. sc16is7xx_config_rs485().)
