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.
