Hi Ilpo,
Actually not only the (port)->cons need to be assigned, but also to get the right (port)->cons->index.
23 #define uart_console(port) \
24 ((port)->cons && (port)->cons->index == (port)->line)
The (port)->cons is assigned in uart_add_one_port(), quite simple.
3076 uport->cons = drv->cons;
But the (port)->cons->index is not that easy to get in lpuart driver, now the value is assigned by calling register_console() from uart_configure_port().
Best Regards
