Claudiu Beznea 651dee0369 serial: sh-sci: Increment the runtime usage counter for the earlycon device
In the sh-sci driver, serial ports are mapped to the sci_ports[] array,
with earlycon mapped at index zero.

The uart_add_one_port() function eventually calls __device_attach(),
which, in turn, calls pm_request_idle(). The identified code path is as
follows:

uart_add_one_port() ->
  serial_ctrl_register_port() ->
    serial_core_register_port() ->
      serial_core_port_device_add() ->
        serial_base_port_add() ->
          device_add() ->
            bus_probe_device() ->
              device_initial_probe() ->
                __device_attach() ->
                  // ...
                  if (dev->p->dead) {
                    // ...
                  } else if (dev->driver) {
                    // ...
                  } else {
                    // ...
                    pm_request_idle(dev);
                    // ...
                  }

The earlycon device clocks are enabled by the bootloader. However, the
pm_request_idle() call in __device_attach() disables the SCI port clocks
while earlycon is still active.

The earlycon write function, serial_console_write(), calls
sci_poll_put_char() via serial_console_putchar(). If the SCI port clocks
are disabled, writing to earlycon may sometimes cause the SR.TDFE bit to
remain unset indefinitely, causing the while loop in sci_poll_put_char()
to never exit. On single-core SoCs, this can result in the system being
blocked during boot when this issue occurs.

To resolve this, increment the runtime PM usage counter for the earlycon
SCI device before registering the UART port.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
