[PATCH] 8250: Don't restore NS16550 mode when console suspend is disabled

[Deepak Saxena <dsaxena@plexity.net>]

Commit b5b82df6, from May 2007, breaks no_console_suspend on the OLPC 
XO laptop. Basically what happens is that upon returning from resume, 
serial8250_resume_port() will reconfigure the port for high speed
mode and all console output will be garbled, making debug of the 
resume path painful. This patch modifies serial8250_resume_port() to 
not touch the port in the case where it is the console port and console 
suspend is disabled.

The OLPC tree has been carrying a workaround for about two years but
this patch is not the version we've been using. That one can be
found at http://dev.laptop.org/~dsaxena/patches/console_suspend_old.patch.
I prefer the approach of handling this in the 8250 driver itself.
