When using earlycon, __msm_console_write() always writes 4 characters at a time, but we don't know which mode the bootloader was using and we don't set the mode either. This causes garbled output if the bootloader was using the single-character mode, because only every 4th character appears in the serial console, e.g. "[ 00oni pi 000xf0[ 00i s 5rm9(l)l s 1 1 SPMTA 7:C 5[ 00A ade k d[ 00ano:ameoi .Q1B[ 00ac _idaM00080oo'" If the bootloader was using the DMA ("DM") mode, output would likely fail entirely. Later, when the full serial driver probes, the port is re-initialized and output works as expected. Fix this also for earlycon by clearing the DMEN register and reset+re-enable the transmitter to apply the change. This ensures the transmitter is in the expected state before writing any output.
