Could we add a device ptr to struct console?

Couldn't this function be generic? Just move
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SERIAL_IMX_CONSOLE) outside this function. Arguably,
the presence of the property or not could replace the config option all
together.

And use a struct device so this can work with devices other than
platform devices (i.e. amba).
