I believe you should be using ->prepare() to prevent that any other
work on UART won't trigger a console_write() right now. Maybe only
queueing the work for after ->complete() or, maybe, just ignoring the
work and loosing some prints, dunno.

yeah, that might work but then again, if we were using 8250.c, would we
have this limitation ??

I think that, maybe, your best call would be to capture console_write()
calls into an internal temporary buffer on ->prepare() and flush it once
->complete() is called ?

BTW, where are the patches ? :-)
