This reverts commit 757055ae8dedf5333af17b3b5b4b70ba9bc9da4e.

The commit caused that ttynull was used as the default console
on several systems[1][2][3]. As a result, the console was
blank even when a better alternative existed.

It happened when there was no console configured
on the command line and ttynull_init() was the first initcall
calling register_console().

Or it happened when /dev/ did not exist when console_on_rootfs()
was called. It was not able to open /dev/console even though
a console driver was registered. It tried to add ttynull console
but it obviously did not help. But ttynull became the preferred
console and was used by /dev/console when it was available later.

The commit tried to fix a historical problem that have been there
for ages. The primary motivation was the commit 3cffa06aeef7ece30f6
("printk/console: Allow to disable console output by using console=""
 or console=null"). It provided a clean solution for a workaround
 that was widely used and worked only by chance.

This revert causes that the console="" or console=null command line
options will again work only by chance. These options will cause that
a particular console will be preferred and the default (tty) ones
will not get enabled. There will be no console registered at
all. As a result there won't be stdin, stdout, and stderr for
the init process. But it worked exactly this way even before.

The proper solution has to fulfill many conditions:

  + Register ttynull only when explicitly required or as
    the ultimate fallback.

  + ttynull should get associated with /dev/console but it must
    not become preferred console when used as a fallback.
    Especially, it must still be possible to replace it
    by a better console later.

Such a change requires clean up of the register_console() code.
Otherwise, it would be even harder to follow. Especially, the use
of has_preferred_console and CON_CONSDEV flag is tricky. The clean
up is risky. The ordering of consoles is not well defined. And
any changes tend to break existing user settings.

Do the revert at the least risky solution for now.

   - tiny serial driver fixes and updates

   - removal of the synclink serial driver as it's no longer needed

   - removal of dead termiox code

Since commit d73dfc6a4199e0e3 ("serial: 8250_pci: remove __devexit
usage") in v3.9, the 8250/16550 PCI serial driver no longer has any code
or data located in initmem, hence there is no need to annotate the
pci_serial_quirks structure with __refdata.  Drop the annotation, to
avoid suppressing future section warnings.

Enable serial driver to be built as a module.  To do so, init the
console support on driver/module load instead of using
console_initcall().

It has been observed that once per 300-1300 port openings the first
transmitted byte is being corrupted on AM3352 ("v" written to FIFO appeared
as "e" on the wire). It only happened if single byte has been transmitted
right after port open, which means, DMA is not used for this transfer and
the corruption never happened afterwards.

Therefore I've carefully re-read the MDR1 errata (link below), which says
"when accessing the MDR1 registers that causes a dummy under-run condition
that will freeze the UART in IrDA transmission. In UART mode, this may
corrupt the transferred data". Strictly speaking,
omap_8250_mdr1_errataset() performs a read access and if the value is the
same as should be written, exits without errata-recommended FIFO reset.

A brief check of the serial_omap_mdr1_errataset() from the competing
omap-serial driver showed it has no read access of MDR1. After removing the
read access from omap_8250_mdr1_errataset() the data corruption never
happened any more.

Now that the driver only probes via devicetree, we can move the
content of imx_uart_probe_dt() directly into imx_uart_probe() to
make the code simpler.
