What kind of issues prompted this patch? I ran into possibly similar issues recently where a machine config and image is meant for multiple arm64 machines and serial console login stopped working on some of them. The kernel console messages were on the correct serial port on all machines but systemd-serialgetty recipe setup was not. I switched from the yocto specific systemd-serialgetty to upstream systemd which fixed all issues and serial getty is now on all needed serial ports (based on our test setup): systemd_%.bbappend: PACKAGECONFIG:append = " serial-getty-generator" In our setup we also can't set the default console via kernel command line since that changes between machines.
