The Xilinx problems appears to be due to the following two commits.

1156dd2483fd serial: uartps: Wait for tx_empty in console setup
9a13572bf02b serial: uartps: Add a timeout to the tx empty wait

I didn't try all tests, but reverting those two patches fixes the problem
at least for arm64:xlnx-zcu102.

I don't see this problem in any other stable releases.
