Factor out the uart save/restore functionality instead of
having the same code several times in the driver.

Function name imx_console_mode seems not like a couple with
imx_console_restore.  And I guess something like
imx_port_ucrs_save[restore] would be better?

Can we define something like 'struct imx_port_ucrs' to contains these?

Yes, we could have different function names above and use a struct.

I implemented what Sascha asked for in

http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg144960.html

though:

I'm thinking about:

imx_console_restore(struct uart_port *port, u32 ucr1, u32 ucr2, u32 ucr3);
-- Sascha end --

It seems Shawn proposes

imx_port_ucrs_save(struct uart_port *port, struct *imx_port_ucrs);
imx_port_ucrs_restore(struct uart_port *port, struct *imx_port_ucrs);

(?)

Sascha, Shawn: Could you agree on what we should use?

Once you agreed, I will send an update of both two patches.

Please Cc Alan Cox [off-list ref] for these patches.  Though we
could possibly send them through arm-soc tree, we need to ask for his ack.
