Restore undocumented behavior of kernel command line parameters of
the forms:
console=uart[8250],io|mmio|mmio32,<addr>[,options]
console=uart[8250],<addr>[,options]
where 'options' have not been specified; in this case, the hardware
is assumed to be initialized.
Document the required behavior of the original implementation.
Fixes: c7cef0a84912cab3c9df8 ("console: Add extensible console matching")
Reported-by: Yinghai Lu <ying...@kernel.org>
Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley <pe...@hurleysoftware.com>

v4: Removed FIXME comment
v3: Fixed automatic console to port line settings initialization;
open-coded serial8250_console_setup() so the baud can be probed;
added sha reference in commit log
v2: Fixed regression which allowed "console=uart1337,..." to start a
console (but not an earlycon)
+ fixed earlycon= documentation related required behavior fixed by
this patch
