Well hopefully no need to check anything here for the console unless
enabled state needs to be inherited from the early console.

Note that with what Jiri is proposing, we can just unconditionally do the
pm_runtime_resume_and_get() here on the generic serial port controller
struct device. We can also leave out the tinkering of the serial port
hardware struct device.

The hardware serial port controller drivers that do support autosuspend
can just decrement the runtime PM usage count for the generic serial port
controller child device as needed to enable aggressive PM.

OK. Seems the issues with the boot console and early serial port struct
device or whatever might be missing are there even without runtime PM.
