[PATCH v4 4/4] serial: 8250: Add preferred console in serial8250_isa_init_ports()

From: Tony Lindgren
Date: Tue Dec 05 2023 - 02:36:14 EST


Prepare 8250 isa ports to drop kernel command line serial console
handling from console_setup().

We need to set the preferred console in serial8250_isa_init_ports().
Otherwise the console gets initialized only later on when the hardware
specific driver takes over, and console_setup() is no longer handling
the ttyS related quirks.

Note that this mostly affects x86 as this happens based on define
SERIAL_PORT_DFNS.
