Expected is to register properly console via register_console() call.
If you do so, you also need to initialize spin lock before coming to
uart_add_one_port().
It seems drivers (ab)used that feature.

$ git grep -n -w register_console -- drivers/tty/serial/ | cut -f1 -d:
| sort -u | wc -l
    37
$ git grep -n _CONSOLE -- drivers/tty/serial/ | cut -f1 -d:  | sort -u | wc -l
    77

But as a quick fix this initialization is okay.
