[PATCH V2 7/9] tty: serial: of-serial: Suppress warnings if OF earlycon is invoked twice

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Specifying "earlycon earlycon" on the kernel command line yields this
warning:

    bootconsole [uart0] enabled
    ------------[ cut here ]------------

In this case the duplicate "earlycon" was entered directly, but there are
other cases where this could happen inadvertently:

 - Some platforms allow user bootargs to be concatenated with builtin
   bootargs, e.g. CONFIG_CMDLINE_EXTEND.

 - Other platforms may want to hardwire earlycon to ON, so it isn't
   nice if a user manually specifying "earlycon" on the command line sees
   a big scary warning.

So, we will treat "earlycon" as a flag, and if happens to be requested
multiple times the kernel will not print any warnings.
