[PATCH RESEND v2] earlycon: prevent multiple register_console()
From: Michael Walle
Date: Tue Jun 28 2022 - 08:07:51 EST
If the earlycon parameter is given twice, the kernel will spit out a
WARN() in register_console() because it was already registered. The
non-dt variant setup_earlycon() already handles that gracefully. The dt
variant of_setup_earlycon() doesn't. Add the check there and add the
-EALREADY handling in early_init_dt_scan_chosen_stdout().
FWIW, this doesn't happen if CONFIG_ACPI_SPCR_TABLE is set. In that case
the registration is delayed until after earlycon parameter(s) are
parsed.

changes since v1:
- add missing EALREADY handling in of_setup_earlycon()
- return 0 early as suggested by Rob
