The commit a3cb39d258ef ("serial: core: Allow detach and attach serial device for console") changed the lock initialization logic to assume the spinlock is initialized even if the console is not enabled. Therefore, initialize the lock explicitly in owl_uart_probe(), before attempting to invoke uart_add_one_port().
