IMO, That's not a very maintainable solution.
What happens when when someone fixes serial.c to only set
HWMOD_INIT_NO_IDLE on the console UART? or if we fix things so we don't
need INIT_NO_IDLE anymore? Then this will crash.
Driver code should not make assumptions like this about what device init
code is or isn't doing.
