The odroid-xu3 platform passes a wrong "console" argument on the kernel
commandline:
console=console=ttySAC2,115200n8
>From the source, it's clear where this comes from:
include/configs/odroid_xu3.h:
#define CONFIG_DEFAULT_CONSOLE "console=ttySAC2,115200n8\0"
#define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
[...]
"console=" CONFIG_DEFAULT_CONSOLE \
/etc/flash-kernel/bootscript/bootscr.uboot-generic:
setenv bootargs "${bootargs} console=${console}"
The patch below makes the situation equal to what Debian patches in odroid.h:
drop it from CONFIG_DEFAULT_CONSOLE. Judging from a grep in include/configs, I
think the same situation exists for s5pc210_universal.h, s5p_goni.h, trats2.h
and trats.h, but I don't have these devices. There are many more header files
that have a "console=" in their CONFIG_DEFAULT_CONSOLE, but I don't see that
definition being subsequently used somewhere, so I don't know whether it's
being used wrongly or not.
Thanks for your efforts,
Peter.
