Commit d8aca2f96813 ("tty: serial: qcom-geni-serial: stop operations
in progress at shutdown") was basically a straight revert of the
commit it claims to fix without any explanation of why the problems
talked about in the original patch were no longer relevant. Indeed,
commit d8aca2f96813 ("tty: serial: qcom-geni-serial: stop operations
in progress at shutdown") re-introduces the same problem that commit
e83766334f96 ("tty: serial: qcom_geni_serial: No need to stop tx/rx on
UART shutdown") fixed.

The problems are very easy to see by simply doing this on a
sc7180-based Chromebook:

1. Boot in developer mode with serial console enabled and kdb setup on
   the serial console.
2. via ssh: stop console-ttyMSM0; echo g > /proc/sysrq-trigger

When you do the above you'll see the "kdb" prompt printed on the
serial console but be unable to interact with it.

Let's fix the problem again by noting that the console port is never
configured in DMA mode and thus we don't need to stop things for the
console.

Fixes: d8aca2f96813 ("tty: serial: qcom-geni-serial: stop operations in progress at shutdown")

Hey Douglas,

Thanks for this, I was about to post a similar fix, this was reported
to me by two other people.

The offending commit broke serial console more generally by breaking TX
and thus hanging the system when stopping the getty on reboot.

The underlying bug has been there since this driver was first merged,
and as fixing it properly is going to be a bit involved, I was about to
post a patch equivalent to this one to fix the immediate regression and
get us back to status quo.
