serial console on rb532 disabled on boot (linux 3.15rc5)

[Waldemar Brodkorb <wbx@openadk.org>]

Hi Linux hackers,

I am trying to bootup my Mikrotik RB532 board with the latest
kernel, but my serial console is disabled after boot:
..
Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 4 ports, IRQ sharing disabled
serial8250: ttyS0 at MMIO 0x0 (irq = 104, base_baud = 12499875) is a
16550A
console [ttyS0] enabled
console [ttyS0] disabled

I used git bisect to find the problematic commit:
commit 5f5c9ae56c38942623f69c3e6dc6ec78e4da2076

    serial_core: Unregister console in uart_remove_one_port()
    
    If the serial port being removed is used as a console, it must
also be
    unregistered from the console subsystem using
unregister_console().
    
    uart_ops.release_port() will release resources (e.g. iounmap()
the serial
    port registers), causing a crash on subsequent kernel output if
the console
    is still registered.

After reverting the change, everything is fine.

I can provide a .config and dmesg if needed.

Thanks in advance
