The serial console code selection code needs to select the ports the
otherway around. The attached patch fixes the problem.

I don't understand this fix :-)

We set skip to "1" only if *romvec->pv_stdout is PROMDEV_TTYB,
therefore should definitely use ":b" when it is non-zero, which
is what the code is doing.


Yes but then you do a !skip-- so 0 -> -1 and 1 -> 0


Perhaps the logic drivers/serial/sunzilog.c or
drivers/serial/suncore.c is what is reversed instead.
