serial: core: Fix missing shutdown and startup for serial base port

We are seeing start_tx being called after port shutdown as noted by Jiri.
This happens because we are missing the startup and shutdown related
functions for the serial base port.

Let's fix the issue by adding startup and shutdown functions for the
serial base port to block tx flushing for the serial base port when the
port is not in use.

serial: port: Introduce a common helper to read properties

Several serial drivers want to read the same or similar set of
the port properties. Make a common helper for them.

serial: port: Don't suspend if the port is still busy

We accidently met the issue that the bash prompt is not shown after the
previous command done and until the next input if there's only one CPU
(In our issue other CPUs are isolated by isolcpus=). Further analysis
shows it's because the port entering runtime suspend even if there's
still pending chars in the buffer and the pending chars will only be
processed in next device resuming. We are using amba-pl011 and the
problematic flow is like below:

Bash                                         kworker
tty_write()
  file_tty_write()
    n_tty_write()
      uart_write()
        __uart_start()
          pm_runtime_get() // wakeup waker
            queue_work()
                                    pm_runtime_work()
                                               rpm_resume()
                                                status = RPM_RESUMING
                                                serial_port_runtime_resume()
                                                  port->ops->start_tx()
                                                    pl011_tx_chars()
                                                      uart_write_wakeup()
        […]
        __uart_start()
          pm_runtime_get() < 0 // because runtime status = RPM_RESUMING
                               // later data are not commit to the port driver
                                                status = RPM_ACTIVE
                                                rpm_idle() -> rpm_suspend()

This patch tries to fix this by checking the port busy before entering
runtime suspending. A runtime_suspend callback is added for the port
driver. When entering runtime suspend the callback is invoked, if there's
still pending chars in the buffer then flush the buffer.

serial: core: Use port lock wrappers

When a serial port is used for kernel console output, then all
modifications to the UART registers which are done from other contexts,
e.g. getty, termios, are interference points for the kernel console.

So far this has been ignored and the printk output is based on the
principle of hope. The rework of the console infrastructure which aims to
support threaded and atomic consoles, requires to mark sections which
modify the UART registers as unsafe. This allows the atomic write function
to make informed decisions and eventually to restore operational state. It
also allows to prevent the regular UART code from modifying UART registers
while printk output is in progress.

All modifications of UART registers are guarded by the UART port lock,
which provides an obvious synchronization point with the console
infrastructure.

To avoid adding this functionality to all UART drivers, wrap the
spin_[un]lock*() invocations for uart_port::lock into helper functions
which just contain the spin_[un]lock*() invocations for now. In a
subsequent step these helpers will gain the console synchronization
mechanisms.

Converted with coccinelle. No functional change.

serial: core: Start managing serial controllers to enable runtime PM

We want to enable runtime PM for serial port device drivers in a generic
way. To do this, we want to have the serial core layer manage the
registered physical serial controller devices.

To manage serial controllers, let's set up a struct bus and struct device
for the serial core controller as suggested by Greg and Jiri. The serial
core controller devices are children of the physical serial port device.
The serial core controller device is needed to support multiple different
kind of ports connected to single physical serial port device.

Let's also set up a struct device for the serial core port. The serial
core port instances are children of the serial core controller device.

With the serial core port device we can now flush pending TX on the
runtime PM resume as suggested by Johan.
