This reverts commit 0324a821029e1f54e7a7f8fed48693cfce42dc0e.

That commit tried to fix a deadlock problem when using
hci_ldisc, but it turns out the bug was in hci_ldsic
all along where it was calling ->write() from within
->write_wakeup() callback.

The problem is that ->write_wakeup() was called with
port lock held and ->write() tried to grab the same
port lock.

Should this and the next patch be earlier in the series
as a fix for the v3.15-rc cycle? Should they be cc: stable
as well?

Tony

Well, right now the other fix has had _zero_ testing
so not really a -stable candidate just yet.

how can you even say that ? Unless you work for some 3 letter acronym
organizations, you have no clue about the fact that this was tested on a
keystone 2 platform. How else would we have found the issue to start
with ?

I misunderstood when you wrote:

Ok.

I wouldn't add that tag myself, but Murali (in Cc) did help testing
together with other colleagues.

Yes. One of our customer did the test as the problem was reported by the
customer. The deadlock fix patch from Balbi (hci_ldsic) fixed the issue 
and customer confirmed that the issue is fixed.
