Hi!

This series convert sifive console to nbcon.

The first patch fixes the issue which was pointed out by John [0] 
that the driver has been accessing SIFIVE_SERIAL_IE_OFFS register 
on its ->startup() and ->shutdown() without port lock synchronization 
against ->write().

The fix on the first patch still applies to the second patch which 
converts the console to nbcon as ->write_thread() holds port lock
and ->write_atomic() checks for the console ownership.

Sincerely,
Ryo Takakura
