If an earlycon console driver needs to acquire the uart_port.lock
spinlock for serial console output, and CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y:

Initialize the spinlock in of_setup_earlycon() and register_earlycon(),
to fix this for both DT-based and legacy earlycon. If the driver would
reinitialize the spinlock again, this is harmless, as it's allowed to
reinitialize an unlocked spinlock.
Alternatives are:
- Drivers having an early_serial_console_write() that only performs
the core functionality of serial_console_write(), without acquiring
the lock (which may be unsafe, depending on the hardware),
- Drivers initializing the spinlock in their private earlycon setup
functions.
As uart_port is owned by generic serial_core, and uart_port.lock is
initialized by uart_add_one_port() for the normal case, this can better
be handled in the earlycon core.
