Driver unconditionally forces UART path during probe, probably to ensure that one can get kernel serial log as soon as possible. This approach causes some issues, especially when board is booted with non-UART cable connected to micro-USB port. For example, when USB cable is connected, UART TX/RX lines are unconditionally short-circuited to USB D+/D- lines. This is in turn recognized by a series of serial BREAK signals and some random characters when USB host tries to perform enumeration procedure. To solve the above issue and keep UART console operational as early as possible, set UART path only when USB ID reports UART capable cable.
