Howdy,
It appears that console_setup() code only gets compiled into the kernel if
CONFIG_PRINTK is enabled. One detrimental side-effect of this is that
serial8250_console_setup() never gets invoked when CONFIG_PRINTK is not set,
resulting in baud rate not being read/parsed from command line (i.e.
console=ttyS0,115200n8 is ignored, at least the baud rate part...)
Attached patch moves console_setup() code from inside
#ifdef CONFIG_PRINTK
to outside (in printk.c), removing dependence on said config. option.
This is not new code, its a straight cut/paste of existing code to make it not
depend on CONFIG_PRINTK. I've tested it, and it accomplishes goal of getting
serial8250_console_setup() invoked, and I see no negative impact elsewhere.
Please take a look at this, and apply to the kernel at next appropriate
opportuinty...
Regards,
John Z. Bohach
