[PATCH printk v5 40/40] tty: serial: sh-sci: use setup() callback for early console

[John Ogness]

When setting up the early console, the setup() callback of the
regular console is used. It is called manually before registering
the early console instead of providing a setup() callback for the
early console. This is probably because the early setup needs a
different @options during the early stage.

The issue here is that the setup() callback is called without the
console_list_lock held and functions such as uart_set_options()
expect that.

Rather than manually calling the setup() function before registering,
provide an early console setup() callback that will use the different
early options. This ensures that the error checking, ordering, and
locking context when setting up the early console are correct.

Since this early console can only be registered via the earlyprintk=
parameter, the @options argument of the setup() callback will always
be NULL. Rather than simply ignoring the argument, add a WARN_ON()
to get our attention in case the setup() callback semantics should
change in the future.

Note that technically the current implementation works because it is
only used in early boot. And since the early console setup is
performed before registering, it cannot race with anything and thus
does not need any locking. However, longterm maintenance is easier
when drivers rely on the subsystem API rather than manually
implementing steps that could cause breakage in the future.
