Instead of patching a single global ops structure depending on the port
type, use a separate s3c64xx_serial_ops for the S3C64XX type. This
allows us to mark the structures as const.
Also split out s3c64xx_serial_shutdown into a separate function now that
we have a separate ops structure; this avoids excessive branching
control flow and mirrors s3c64xx_serial_startup. tx_claimed and
rx_claimed are only used in the S3C24XX functions.

When SERIAL_IMX_EARLYCON is enabled, and SERIAL_CORE is disabled,
Kbuild gives the following warning:
WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for SERIAL_EARLYCON
Depends on [n]: TTY [=y] && HAS_IOMEM [=y] && SERIAL_CORE [=n]
Selected by [y]:
- SERIAL_IMX_EARLYCON [=y] && TTY [=y] && HAS_IOMEM [=y] && (ARCH_MXC [=y] || COMPILE_TEST [=n]) && OF [=y]
This is because SERIAL_IMX_EARLYCON selects SERIAL_EARLYCON,

This also removes pointless #ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_FS brackets as the
