My bad. The first version of this patch was closer to the original logic,
despite this patch looks simpler.
The problem is that newcon->setup() is called twice, firstly from
newcon->match(), then explicitly. And it could be called third time later
in another call to newcon->match().
The correct sequence is 1) try to match against preferred_console,
2) if that fails check other entries of console_cmdline. That would require
some work so I will send a correction tomorrow.
All the best
