Implements the necessary callbacks to switch the imx console driver to perform as an nbcon console. Add implementations for the nbcon consoles (write_atomic, write_thread, driver_enter, driver_exit) and add CON_NBCON to the initial flags. The legacy code is kept in order to easily switch back to legacy mode by defining CONFIG_SERIAL_IMX_LEGACY_CONSOLE. Signed-off-by: Esben Haabendal <esben@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Implement the necessary callbacks to allow the imx console driver to be used as an nbcon console. This is based on the work done on converting the 8250 driver to NBCON console [0], adapted to the imx driver. The _write_atomic() and _write_thread() functions access the following registers: ucr1, ucr2, ucr3 and uts, which all needs to be protected by the port lock. The driver has been reviewed for correct handling of these registers, and except for a single missing lock in in _enable_wakeup(), the driver was found sound. The registers are accessed initially in _probe() without lock held, but I assume that is all good and normal, as it before the uart port have been added. A fix for the missing lock have been submitted for mainline [1]. The read_poll_timeout() call in _write_thread() have been changed to run as a tight loop. If allowed to sleep (4th argument >0), a kernel warning such as this one is triggered: [ 0.322860] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 0.322870] Voluntary context switch within RCU read-side critical section!
