When the uart startup entry is called, do not reset the port as this
could cause issues with anything left in the FIFO from a previous operation
such as a console write. Move the hardware reset to probe time and simply
clear the errors before enabling the port.
This fixes the issue where the console could become corrupted as there
where characters left in the output or output fifo when a user process
such as systemd would open/close the uart to transmit characters.
For example, you get:
[ 3.252263] systemd[1]: Dete
instead of:
[ 3.338801] systemd[1]: Detected architecture arm.

The meson_uart_release_port() unmaps the register area but does not release
it. The meson_uart_request_port() calls devm_request_mem_region so the
release should call devm_release_mem_region() for that area so that anyt
subsequent use of these calls will work.
This fixes an issue where the addition of reset code before registering
the uart stops the console from working.

The function meson_uart_release_port() inappropriately try to
iounmap() a resource managed by devm_ioremap_nocache().
The function meson_uart_release_port() maybe called by uart_ioctl()
that means meson_uart_release_port() is not called from within a
probe or remove function, for safety, I convert iounmap() to
devm_iounmap().

The SoC has four fully functional UARTs which use the same programming
model. They are named UART_A, UART_B, UART_C and UART_AO (Always-On)
which cannot be powered off.
