[PATCH 06/14] tty/serial/core: Introduce poll_init callback

[Anton Vorontsov]

It was noticed that polling drivers (like KGDB) are not able to use
serial ports if the ports were not previously initialized via console.
I.e.  when booting with console=ttyAMA0 kgdboc=ttyAMA0, everything works
fine, but with console=ttyFOO kgdboc=ttyAMA0, the kgdboc doesn't work.

This is because we don't initialize the hardware. Calling ->startup() is
not an option, because drivers request interrupts there, and drivers
fail to handle situations when tty isn't opened with interrupts enabled.

So, we have to implement a new callback (actually, tty_ops already have
a similar callback), which does everything needed to initialize just the
hardware.
