ipq806x: initialize UART even when console is not enabled
The ipq806x UART is based on the same universal serial port which can
be also configured as i2c or SPI. Configuring it is not a trivial
task, so in case the kernel wants to use earlyprintk() the port needs
to be configured by the firmware.
Invoking uart_init() when the console is not enabled causes include
file collisions, which would require changes to more than 100 files.
Leaving this to another day, rearranging the ipq806x driver to be able
to invoke UART initialization function even when serial console is not
configured.
Also add a check to avoid initialization if UART has been already
set up.
BRANCH=storm
BUG=chrome-os-partner:35364
TEST=verified that storm console is still fully operational when
enabled, and that the kernel boots fine to the serial console
login prompt even if the firmware console is disabled.
