commit eaeee4225dba30bef4d424bdf134a07b7f423e8b upstream.
The port_cfg object is used by serial_console_write(), which serves as the write function for the earlycon device. Marking port_cfg as __initdata causes it to be freed after kernel initialization, resulting in earlycon becoming unavailable thereafter. Remove the __initdata macro from port_cfg to resolve this issue.
