+Subject: [PATCH] printk: always setup default (tty0 + stdout / SPCR) consoles
+ when no console= present
+
+(This is a hack specific to OpenWrt's armsr target)
+
+This change resolves a difference in behaviour between arm64 ACPI
+and DT systems.
+Our usecase is to ensure the system console is always present
+regardless of display mode (serial port or screen).
+
+Both ACPI and DT have mechanisms to setup a serial console from
+information passed by firmware (SPCR and stdout-path respectively).
+
+On ACPI systems, the SPCR table is parsed very early on in the kernel
+boot which prevents the screen console (tty0) from appearing if it is
+not explicitly set.
+
+We would like to avoid specifying console= arguments as there are many
+possible configurations on the serial side (like ttyS0, ttyAMA0, ttymxc0
+etc.).
+
+If the kernel does not consume the serial port in SPCR/stdout-path,
+then the 'default' settings from the firmware (baud rate etc.) are lost.
+
+If the system administrator explicitly specifies a console= argument,
+then the old behaviour is returned.
