tty/serial/core: Introduce poll_init callback It was noticed that polling drivers (like KGDB) are not able to use serial ports if the ports were not previously initialized via console. I.e. when booting with console=ttyAMA0 kgdboc=ttyAMA0, everything works fine, but with console=ttyFOO kgdboc=ttyAMA0, the kgdboc doesn't work. This is because we don't initialize the hardware. Calling ->startup() is not an option, because drivers request interrupts there, and drivers fail to handle situations when tty isn't opened with interrupts enabled. So, we have to implement a new callback (actually, tty_ops already have a similar callback), which does everything needed to initialize just the hardware.
