TBH I do not understand why we're even arguing here, AFAICT the behavior
change
is an unwanted side-effect of your patch, so the solution is to rewrite the
patch
so that we get the same end result (not turning off bootconsole-s too early)
without
the unwanted side-effect, and you agreed to work on that ?

I intend to revert this if we don't have a fix soon.

I think we just need a flag saying we've enabled the earlycon from
stdout-path or not and then add the preferred console based on that. I
assume with "earlycon" only on the command-line, getting console only
on stdout-path is okay.

Yes, if a user explicitly specifies something like "earlycon" on the
commandline then not automatically getting console output on tty0 is
fine AFAICT. The use case important for me / distros is when no
console= (or related) arguments are present on the cmdline at all,
then the desired behavior is to have console output on tty0 as well
as on any serial console specified with stdout-path.

Thanks & Regards,

Hans
