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,<addr>[,options]
earlycon=uart[8250],mmio,<addr>[,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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
