Hmm, good point. However, how likely is it that we'll have more than one console driver? Also, without calling add_preferred_console(), the kernel needs to have a console= on the command line. In my case, my driver only calls add_preferred_console() if the device tree contains a specific property that it looks for. In effect, this property override the console= line. However, the console= line goes to the HVC subsystem, and not my driver, and I can't use it to send the configuration data the driver needs. Unfortunately, my driver hasn't been published yet, so it's hard to explain the details. I guess I need to think about this more. -- Timur Tabi Linux kernel developer at Freescale _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
