From 17b655759e83fd5e28931a0ece96fa9c2ab718e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Raul E Rangel Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2024 12:35:14 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] init: Don't proxy `console=` to earlycon Today we are proxying the `console=` command line args to the `param_setup_earlycon()` handler. This is done because the following are equivalent: console=uart[8250],mmio,[,options] earlycon=uart[8250],mmio,[,options] Both invocations enable an early `bootconsole`. `console=uartXXXX` is just an alias for `earlycon=uartXXXX`. In addition, when `earlycon=` (empty value) or just `earlycon` (no value) is specified on the command line, we enable the earlycon `bootconsole` specified by the SPCR table or the DT. The problem arises when `console=` (empty value) is specified on the command line. It's intention is to disable the `console`, but what happens instead is that the SPRC/DT console gets enabled. This happens because we are proxying the `console=` (empty value) parameter to the `earlycon` handler. The `earlycon` handler then sees that the parameter value is empty, so it enables the SPCR/DT `bootconsole`. This change makes it so that the `console` or `console=` parameters no longer enable the SPCR/DT `bootconsole`. I also cleans up the hack in `main.c` that would forward the `console` parameter to the `earlycon` handler.
