startup()/shutdown() callbacks access SIFIVE_SERIAL_IE_OFFS.
The register is also accessed from write() callback.
If console were printing and startup()/shutdown() callback
gets called, its access to the register could be overwritten.
Add port->lock to startup()/shutdown() callbacks to make sure
their access to SIFIVE_SERIAL_IE_OFFS is synchronized against
write() callback.
Fixes: 45c054d0815b ("tty: serial: add driver for the SiFive UART")

This patch used be part of a series for converting sifive driver to
nbcon[0]. It's now sent seperatly as the rest of the series does not
need be applied to the stable branch.
Sincerely,

That means this is a v2 patch, and you should also send the other patch
as a v2 as well, right?

Oh yes. I wasn't sure about the versioning for this patch. Let me resend
this patch as v2.
Also for the other patch, as now its sent as a single standalone patch,
I'll resend it as v2.
