If the device used as a serial console gets detached/attached at runtime,
register_console() will try to call imx_uart_setup_console(), but this
is not possible since it is marked as __init.
For instance
# cat /sys/devices/virtual/tty/console/active
tty1 ttymxc0
# echo -n N > /sys/devices/virtual/tty/console/subsystem/ttymxc0/console
# echo -n Y > /sys/devices/virtual/tty/console/subsystem/ttymxc0/console

A similar issue could be triggered by unbinding/binding the serial
console device [*].
Drop __init so that imx_uart_setup_console() can be safely called at
runtime.
