No, I don't think so.  The description of the patch says that it fixes a problem
of double printing the logs with SPCR and both console=ttyAMA and earlycon are specified
on the command string.  That wrong patch does "fix" it, but introduces
a regression with the regular case.

With s/||/&&/ it would not even 'fix' the described problem.

Thank you
