The earlycon would be alive outside the init code in these cases:
1/ we have keep_bootcon in cmdline.
2/ we don't have a real console to switch to.

So remove the __init marking to avoid invalid memory access.

I can't apply "RFC" patches.  If you have tested and found this series
to be correct, can you resend it without that on the patch?

thanks,

oh, sorry, i'll resend it :)

but i'm still not sure how to fix other hang cases(mentioned in the 
cover-letter, earlycon's required clks/pm domain been disabled by ignore 
unused initcalls or serial console driver's runtime suspend).
