I've some skepticism to this claim. I now played with 8250 myself and
confirmed it does have non-NULL ->cons for the console ports before
to calls to uart_add_one_port() and index is setup up correctly for cons
too!

The reason for the cons being setup is this being done in
univ8250_console_setup():

/* link port to console */
port->cons = co;

(which I think could be easily be done in lpuart_console_setup() too).
