[PATCH tty-next v4 0/6] convert 8250 to nbcon

[John Ogness]

This is v4 of a series to convert the 8250 driver to an NBCON
console, providing both threaded and atomic printing
implementations. v3 of this series is here [0]. Additional
background information about NBCON consoles in general is
available in the cover letter of v2 [1].

The changes since v3:

- For callbacks ->rs485_stop_tx() and ->rs485_start_tx(),
  rename argument @in_con to @toggle_ier (inverts meaning).

- For univ8250_console_device_lock() and
  univ8250_console_device_unlock(), rename argument @con to @co.

- Do not introduce helpers __serial8250_stop_rx_mask_dr(),
  __serial8250_stop_rx_int(), __serial8250_start_rx_int().

- Use @frame_time to determine per-character timeout, fallback
  to 10ms if @frame_time not available.

- Use shorter code syntax when setting @console_line_ended.

- Introduce helper function fifo_wait_for_lsr() to wait for
  multiple characters.

- For serial8250_console_fifo_write() and
  serial8250_console_byte_write(), remove unnecessary
  READ_ONCE() usage.

- For serial8250_console_fifo_write() and
  serial8250_console_byte_write(), use nbcon_can_proceed()
  rather than repeatedly enter/exit unsafe regions.

- Initialize @modem_status_work using init_irq_work() rather
  than IRQ_WORK_INIT().

- Commit message and comment style cleanups as requested.
