Subject: [PATCH v2] serial: sh-sci: Fix init data attribute for struct 'port_cfg'

The __init attribute is meant to mark functions, use __initdata instead
for the data structure.

This fixes the following error when building with clang:

drivers/tty/serial/sh-sci.c:3247:15: error: '__section__' attribute only
  applies to functions, methods, properties, and global variables
    static struct __init plat_sci_port port_cfg;

Signed-off-by: Matthias Kaehlcke <mka@...omium.org>
---
Changes in v2:
- Change the attribute to __initdata instead of removing it
- Update commit message
