Thanks, the boot log finally gave me a clue, and allowed me to reproduce.
The issue happens only when adding:

    console=ttySC0,115200n8

to the kernel command line.  Which is something we never did on R-Car
Gen3, as the console= parameter had been deprecated by chosen/stdout-path
on DT systems long before.

As we did use console= before on arm32, and drivers/tty/serial/sh-sci.c
never called spinlock_init(), I'm wondering if this spinlock bug is
actually a regression in serial_core.c?
