[PATCH] init: Don't proxy console= to earlycon

From: Raul E Rangel
Date: Fri Jul 07 2023 - 21:24:19 EST


Right now we are proxying the `console=XXX` command line args to the
param_setup_earlycon. This is done because the following are
equivalent:

console=uart[8250],mmio,<addr>[,options]
earlycon=uart[8250],mmio,<addr>[,options]

In addition, when `earlycon=` or just `earlycon` is specified on the
command line, we look at the SPCR table or the DT to extract the device
options.

When `console=` is specified on the command line, it's intention is to
disable the console. Right now since we are proxying the `console=`
flag to the earlycon handler, we enable the earlycon_acpi_spcr_enable
variable when an SPCR table is present. This means that we
inadvertently enable the earlycon.

This change makes it so we only proxy the console= command if it's
value is not empty. This way we can correctly handle both cases.
