Subject[PATCH] earlycon: prevent multiple register_console()
Date
If the earlycon parameter is given twice, the kernel will spit out a
WARN() in register_console() because it was already registered. The
non-dt variant setup_earlycon() already handles that gracefully. The dt
variant of_setup_earlycon() doesn't. Add the check there and propagate
it through early_init_dt_scan_chosen_stdout().

FWIW, this doesn't happen if CONFIG_ACPI_SPCR_TABLE is set. In that case
the registration is delayed until after earlycon parameter(s) are
parsed.

I'm not sure if this should have a Fixes tag or not. If so I guess it
should be the very first commit which introduced the support (commit
fb11ffe74c79 ("of/fdt: add FDT serial scanning for earlycon")).

For the curious, here is the backtrace:
