Subject: [PATCH] arm64: avoid needing console= to enable serial console
Tell kernel to prefer one of the serial ports for console on
platforms currently supported (pl011 or 8250). console= on
command line will override these assumed preferences. This is
just a hack to get the behavior we want from DT provided by
firmware.
