This is inefficient - the compiler will probably store "pl011" in the
rodata section, then allocate an array on the stack, and them memcpy()
it onto the stack. This is really a false optimisation.

Just do:
if (strncmp(name, "pl011", 5) != 0)
here, and let the compiler work it out - it'll probably place "pl011"
in the rodata section, and use a pointer to it rather than messing around
with the stack.
What if "console=pl011x,..." is passed? Should this be matched too?
Maybe this should compare with "pl011," to ensure that the name is
correctly terminated?
