H A Dserial_core.cdiff f743061a85f5e9989df22ccbf07c80c98fc90e08 Mon Jul 06 23:49:03 CEST 2020 Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com> serial: core: Initialise spin lock before use in uart_configure_port()

The comment near to uart_port_spin_lock_init() says:

Ensure that the serial console lock is initialised early.
If this port is a console, then the spinlock is already initialised.

and there is nothing about enabled or disabled consoles. The commit
a3cb39d258ef ("serial: core: Allow detach and attach serial device
for console") made a change, which follows the comment, and also to
prevent reinitialisation of the lock in use, when user detaches and
attaches back the same console device. But this change discovers
another issue, that uart_add_one_port() tries to access a spin lock
that now may be uninitialised. This happens when a driver expects
the serial core to register a console on its behalf. In this case
we must initialise a spin lock before use.
