serial: fsl_lpuart: delete timer on shutdown
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 4a8588a upstream.

If the serial port gets closed while a RX transfer is in progress,
the timer might fire after the serial port shutdown finished. This
leads in a NULL pointer dereference:

Setup the timer on UART startup which allows to delete the timer
unconditionally on shutdown. This also saves the initialization
on each transfer.
