Soby Mathew cc5859ca19 Multi-console: Deprecate the finish_console_register macro ... The `finish_console_register` macro is used by the multi console framework to register the `console_t` driver callbacks. It relied on weak references to the `ldr` instruction to populate 0 to the callback in case the driver has not defined the appropriate function. Use of `ldr` instruction to load absolute address to a reference makes the binary position dependant. These instructions should be replaced with adrp/adr instruction for position independant executable(PIE). But adrp/adr instructions don't work well with weak references as described in GNU ld bugzilla issue 22589. This patch defines a new version of `finish_console_register` macro which can spcify which driver callbacks are valid and deprecates the old one. If any of the argument is not specified, then the macro populates 0 for that callback. Hence the functionality of the previous deprecated macro is preserved. The USE_FINISH_CONSOLE_REG_2 define is used to select the new variant of the macro and will be removed once the deprecated variant is removed. All the upstream console drivers have been migrated to use the new macro in this patch. NOTE: Platforms be aware that the new variant of the `finish_console_register` should be used and the old variant is deprecated.
