Hi Marek,

Sorry, didn't take into account that console_drivers is NULL when
earlycon is not used.

Here is the patch-v2. Please review:

BTW, should I resend the patch-v2 through the site
(https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/add.php), or should I
send the patch-v2 through E-mail to Linux-Mainline?

Thanks you.
Regards,
Victor
