I have seen this in the past. It can happens unregister_console_locked()
has always printed the disabled message before actually checking if the
console is registered.

IIRC it has something to do with serial8250_register_8250_port() calling
uart_remove_one_port(). I remember starting to look into how to fix it
but then was going down a rabbit hole that exceeded my scope at the
time.

The tegra issue we had with v5 was related to irqwork being scheduled
when suspending. When keep_bootcon is specified, there will be no
irqwork scheduled during boot because legacy_direct=true.

>From the backtrace in the posted boot log we see that the warning is
within tegra_pmc_enter_suspend_mode(). I am wondering if this is the
same issue we saw with v5... an irqwork getting scheduled when the tegra
is entering some suspend state.

Back then I was able to reproduce the suspend issue on a Phytec-WEGA
board. I will see if I can reproduce this report on it as well.
