[RFC PATCH v5 2/6] printk: Don't try to parse DEVNAME:0.0 console options

From: Tony Lindgren
Date: Mon Dec 18 2023 - 02:13:03 EST


Trying to parse the console for a console=DEVNAME:0.0 style console does
not work as console_setup() tries to make a console index out of any
digits passed in the kernel command line for console. In the DEVNAME:0.0
case, the name can contain a device IO address.
