[RFC PATCH] tty: serial: kgdboc: Fix 8250_* kgd over serial

From: Michael Trimarchi
Date: Fri Dec 08 2023 - 16:28:55 EST


Use late_initcall_sync insted of module init to be sure that
serial driver is really probed and get take handover from
early driver. The 8250 register the platform driver after
the 8250 core is initialized. As shown by kdbg

(gdb) bt

This section of the code is too early because in this case
the omap serial is not probed
