commit 3791ea69a4858b81e0277f695ca40f5aae40f312 upstream.
The early_console_setup() function initializes the sci_ports[0].port with
an object of type struct uart_port obtained from the object of type
struct earlycon_device received as argument by the early_console_setup().
It may happen that later, when the rest of the serial ports are probed,
the serial port that was used as earlycon (e.g., port A) to be mapped to a
different position in sci_ports[] and the slot 0 to be used by a different
serial port (e.g., port B), as follows:
sci_ports[0] = port A
sci_ports[X] = port B
In this case, the new port mapped at index zero will have associated data
that was used for earlycon.
In case this happens, after Linux boot, any access to the serial port that
maps on sci_ports[0] (port A) will block the serial port that was used as
earlycon (port B).
To fix this, add early_console_exit() that clean the sci_ports[0] at
earlycon exit time.
