If probing of a pl011 gets deferred until after free_initmem(), an oops ensues because pl011_console_match() is called which has been freed. Fix by removing the __init attribute from the function and those it calls. Commit10879ae5f1("serial: pl011: add console matching function") introduced pl011_console_match() not just for early consoles but regular preferred consoles, such as those added by acpi_parse_spcr(). Regular consoles may be registered after free_initmem() for various reasons, one being deferred probing, another being dynamic enablement of serial ports using a DeviceTree overlay. Thus, pl011_console_match() must not be declared __init and the functions it calls mustn't either.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
