Please check attached patch that fix regresion by. commit c7cef0a849
("console: Add extensible console matching")

or you have better way?

Subject: [PATCH] earlycon: Fix earlycon/console handover without options

commit c7cef0a84912 ("console: Add extensible console matching")
broke the earlycon/handover when booting
console=uart8250,io,0x3f8

the bootloader is using 115200, and the earlycon continue
use 115200, but console revert back to 9600.

Before the commit, probed baud rate is passed via console_cmdline
from earlycon to normal console.
That commit remove that and only check boot command line.

This patch use port match to get hold earlycon, and use earlycon
device options to update options for console.

Fixes: commit c7cef0a84912 ("console: Add extensible console matching")
