The flags in struct console_device have to be initialized to zero. Otherwise the following can happen: - console_register sets the initial baudrate of a new console before we set the global console init state to CONSOLE_INIT_FULL. - In console_baudrate_set we test whether the current console is active which may be true because of unitialized flags. - we then call getc() to wait for the user to accept the new settings and we are stuck because of the CONSOLE_UNINITIALIZED state we will never get anything from getc(). Looking back this explains some cases for me when barebox refused to start and I really wonder why this did not become a more visible problem before.
