[PATCH v5] drivers/tty: amba: defer probing DMA availability until hw_init

Fix a race condition that happens when device_initcall(pl011_dma_initicall)
is executed before all the devices have been probed - this issue was observed on
an hisi_6220 SoC (HiKey board from Linaro).

The deferred driver probing framework relies on late_initcall to trigger
deferred probes so it is just possible that, even with a valid DMA driver ready
to be loaded, we fail to synchronize with it.

The proposed implementation delays probing of the DMA until the uart device is
opened. As hw_init is invoked on port startup and port resume - but the DMA
probe is only required once - we avoid calling multiple times using a new field
in uart_amba_port to track this scenario.

This commit allows for subsequent attempts to associate an external DMA if the
DMA driver was deferred at UART hw_init time.
