Commit 906b17dc089f7fa87e37a9cfe6ee185efc90e0da introduced a condition
where the kernel will crash unless a earlyprintk parameter is specified.

Without this parameter, sci_console_init is called during early console
setup without any port being initialized, and the kernel crashes a
little bit later when uart_set_options attemps to invoke set_termios on a
port with an ops member equal to NULL.

This patch just checks in sci_console_init that the port is properly
initialized, and aborts the early console setup if it is not.
