[PATCH v3] earlycon: 8250: Fix command line regression

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

 



Restore undocumented behavior of kernel command line parameters of
the forms:
    console=uart[8250],io|mmio|mmio32,<addr>[,options]
    console=uart[8250],<addr>[,options]
where 'options' have not been specified; in this case, the hardware
is assumed to be initialized.

Document the required behavior of the original implementation.

Fixes: c7cef0a84912cab3c9df8 ("console: Add extensible console matching")
Reported-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@xxxxxxxxxx>
Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
---

v3: Fixed automatic console to port line settings initialization;
    open-coded serial8250_console_setup() so the baud can be probed;
    added sha reference in commit log

v2: Fixed regression which allowed "console=uart1337,..." to start a
    console (but not an earlycon)
  + fixed earlycon= documentation related required behavior fixed by
    this patch
