I don't know if it's intentional, but the patch does:
+ int index = cs[i]->index;
...
+ driver = cs[i]->device(cs[i], &index);

which will presumably change the index from 0 to 1 because of this code:

static struct tty_driver *vt_console_device(struct console *c, int *index)
{
*index = c->index ? c->index-1 : fg_console;
return console_driver;
}

At least that's what it looks like is causing the problem from
browsing through the source a bit.
