The comment near to uart_port_spin_lock_init() says:

  Ensure that the serial console lock is initialised early.
  If this port is a console, then the spinlock is already initialised.

and there is nothing about enabled or disabled consoles. The commit
a3cb39d258ef ("serial: core: Allow detach and attach serial device
for console") made a change, which follows the comment, and also to
prevent reinitialisation of the lock in use, when user detaches and
attaches back the same console device. But this change discovers
another issue, that uart_add_one_port() tries to access a spin lock
that now may be uninitialised. This happens when a driver expects
the serial core to register a console on its behalf. In this case
we must initialise a spin lock before use.

Fixes: a3cb39d258ef ("serial: core: Allow detach and attach serial
device for console")

v2: my bad to send the version with one typo, now squashed and resent

I hope this is now properly root caused. To the people in Reported-by list, can you revert the corresponding change you either reported or submitted to the
certain serial driver and apply this patch and retest?

Tony, can you also test that this doesn't change anything for the PM case for
OMAP?

Geert, I tried to explain above why the change had been made in the first place.

nit: __uart_port_spin_lock_init() looks like a better name to me
(as a primitive of uart_port_spin_lock_init). You can also drop
the inline which doesn't mean much these days (and this isn't
a hot path).
