In s3c24xx_serial_console_setup function, if the uart port that is being setup as a console has not been initialized, an error can be returned instead of using uart port 0 as the default console port. The uart port that was intended to be used as a console could be initialized at a later point during boot and then registered as a console. This will avoid using uart port 0 as a unintended console port.
