We should factor out the uart save/restore functionality instead of
having the same code three times in the driver. I'm thinking about:

imx_console_mode(struct uart_port *port, u32 *ucr1, u32 *ucr2, u32 *ucr2);
imx_console_restore(struct uart_port *port, u32 ucr1, u32 ucr2, u32 ucr3);

These functions could correctly handle ucr3 (which is missing in
mainline) and i.MX1 (which is missing in your patch).
