[PATCH v3 3/3] serial: core: Move console character device handling from printk

From: Tony Lindgren
Date: Tue Nov 21 2023 - 06:33:24 EST


There's no need for console_setup() to try to figure out the console
character device name for serial ports early on before uart_add_one_port()
has been called. And for early debug console we have earlycon.

Let's handle the serial port specific commandline options in the serial
core subsystem and drop the handling from printk. The serial core
subsystem can just call add_preferred_console() when the serial port is
getting initialized.

Note that eventually we may want to set up driver specific console quirk
handling for the serial port device drivers to use. But we need to figure
out which driver(s) need to call the quirk. So for now, we just move the
sparc quirk and handle it directly.
