The DM_FLAG_PRE_RELOC shall be set unconditionally as this driver is going to be re-used in both early SPL and U-Boot proper's pre-reloc.

For i.MX based devices it is crucial to have available the serial console before relocation (otherwise the board may hand).

The device definition may be provided either via device tree description or with U_BOOT_DEVICE(mxc_serial) definition. In the latter case the device will not bind in U-Boot proper when DM_FLAG_PRE_RELOC is not set.

The !CONFIG_IS_ENABLED(OF_CONTROL) #if check was set as a "workaround" for DM problem described in following commit 4687919684e0 ("serial: Remove DM_FLAG_PRE_RELOC flag in various drivers").

Let's look on this check more thoroughly - we add this flag if the board doesn't support OF_CONTROL. This is a bit strange as the serial_mxc.c can be used with CONFIG_DM_SERIAL but without corresponding device tree description (OF_CONTROL). In such case the aforementioned U_BOOT_DEVICE(mxc_serial) definition is used.

Other boards/SoCs have this flag set unconditionally for serial driver.
