[PATCH 2/4] serial: i.MX: Make console support non optional

From: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer at pengutronix.de>

Traditionally console support is optional for serial drivers. This
makes it non optional for the i.MX driver since it's not worth
asking questions for a feature virtually every user of this driver
wants to have.
