The port->console flag is always false, as uart_console() is called
before the serial console has been registered.
Hence for a serial port used as the console, uart_tty_port_shutdown()
will still be called when userspace closes the port, powering it down.
This may lead to a system lock up when the serial console driver writes
to the serial port's registers.
To fix this, move the setting of port->console after the call to
uart_configure_port(), which registers the serial console.

v2:
- Add Acked-by,
- Reworded one-line summary (incl. magic word "fix").
Can easily be reproduced on Renesas boards:
1. With systemd: hangs during boot,
2. Without systemd: "telinit n" to switch to a runlevel that doesn't
run a getty on ttySC0, and trigger kernel console output => hang.
