[PATCH 00/19] printk cleanup - part 3

[Marcos Paulo de Souza]

The parts 1 and 2 can be found here [1] and here[2].

The changes proposed in this part 3 are mostly to clarify the usage of
the interfaces for NBCON, and use the printk helpers more broadly.
Besides it, it also introduces a new way to register consoles
and drop thes the CON_ENABLED flag. It seems too much, but in reality
the changes are not complex, and as the title says, it's basically a
cleanup without changing the functional changes.

This patchset includes a patch from part 2 that needed more work [3], as
suggested by Petr Mladek.

These changes were tested by reverting f79b163c4231
("Revert "serial: 8250: Switch to nbcon console""), and used qemu to test
suspend/resume cycles, and everything worked as expected.

PS: b4 --auto-to-cc added a bunch of people as CC, so I'm not sure if
I should remove some or not, so I'm leaving the list as it is. If the
patchset needs a v2, and you feel that you don't need to copied, just
let me know.

Thanks for checking the patches, and happy holidays!
