If the earlycon parameter is given twice, the kernel will spit out a WARN() in register_console() because it was already registered. The non-dt variant setup_earlycon() already handles that gracefully. The dt variant of_setup_earlycon() doesn't. Add the check there and add the -EALREADY handling in early_init_dt_scan_chosen_stdout(). FWIW, this doesn't happen if CONFIG_ACPI_SPCR_TABLE is set. In that case the registration is delayed until after earlycon parameter(s) are parsed.
