[PATCH v2 1/2] serial: imx: fix detach/attach of serial console

From: Stefan Agner <stefan at agner.ch>

If the device used as a serial console gets detached/attached at runtime,
register_console() will try to call imx_uart_setup_console(), but this
is not possible since it is marked as __init.

For instance

  # cat /sys/devices/virtual/tty/console/active
  tty1 ttymxc0
  # echo -n N > /sys/devices/virtual/tty/console/subsystem/ttymxc0/console
  # echo -n Y > /sys/devices/virtual/tty/console/subsystem/ttymxc0/console

A similar issue could be triggered unbinding/binding the serial console
device [*].

Drop __init so that imx_uart_setup_console() can be safely called at
runtime.
