Hi Ilpo,
Yes, the root cause of the console cannot work after apply the commit 60f361722ad2 ("serial: fsl_lpuart: Reset prior to registration") is lpuart_global_reset() cannot identify the console port, so reset all uart ports.
Actually I've been thinking about any other workaround all afternoon, seems no other good options to me till now. And after a further check, I think the original patch is not needed, as uart_add_one_port() won't open the tty device, it should be safe to global reset the non-console ports after uart_add_one_port().
Best Regards
Sherry
