[PATCH] v850: Workaround for tty-driver init-order problem

From: miles@lsi.nec.co.jp (Miles Bader)

Use `late_initcall' instead of just `__initcall' as a workaround for
the fact that (1) simcons_tty_init can't be called before tty_init,
(2) tty_init is called via `module_init', (3) if statically linked,
module_init == device_init, and (4) there's no ordering of init lists.

We can do this easily because simcons is always statically linked, but
other tty drivers that depend on tty_init and which must use
`module_init' to declare their init routines are likely to be broken.
