Since commit ac71344e

 we have the UART base address in the generic
console_t structure. For most platforms the platform-specific struct
console is gone, so we *must* use the embedded base address, since there
is no storage behind the generic console_t anymore.

Replace the usage of CONSOLE_T_DRVDATA with CONSOLE_T_BASE to fix this.

Current lpuart driver does NOT implement .console_flush callback,
if debug console is enabled, the console_flush() will call the
undefined .console_flush callback(NULL) for lpuart and leak to
panic, this patch adds .console_flush callback to make lpuart work
for debug mode.

The `finish_console_register` macro is used by the multi console
framework to register the `console_t` driver callbacks. It relied
on weak references to the `ldr` instruction to populate 0 to the
callback in case the driver has not defined the appropriate
function. Use of `ldr` instruction to load absolute address to a
reference makes the binary position dependant. These instructions
should be replaced with adrp/adr instruction for position independant
executable(PIE). But adrp/adr instructions don't work well with weak
references as described in GNU ld bugzilla issue 22589.

This patch defines a new version of `finish_console_register` macro
which can spcify which driver callbacks are valid and deprecates the
old one. If any of the argument is not specified, then the macro
populates 0 for that callback. Hence the functionality of the previous
deprecated macro is preserved. The USE_FINISH_CONSOLE_REG_2 define
is used to select the new variant of the macro and will be removed
once the deprecated variant is removed.

All the upstream console drivers have been migrated to use the new
macro in this patch.

NOTE: Platforms be aware that the new variant of the
`finish_console_register` should be used and the old variant is
deprecated.
