Driver subsystems may need to translate the preferred console name to the character device name used. We already do some of this in console_setup() with a few hardcoded names, but that does not scale well. The console options are parsed early in console_setup(), and the consoles are added with __add_preferred_console(). At this point we don't know much about the character device names and device drivers getting probed. To allow driver subsystems to set up a preferred console, let's save the kernel command line console options. To add a preferred console from a driver subsystem with optional character device name translation, let's add a new function add_preferred_console_match(). This allows the serial core layer to support console=DEVNAME:0.0 style hardware based addressing in addition to the current console=ttyS0 style naming. And we can start moving console_setup() character device parsing to the driver subsystem specific code. We use a separate array from the console_cmdline array as the character device name and index may be unknown at the console_setup() time. And eventually there's no need to call __add_preferred_console() until the subsystem is ready to handle the console. Adding the console name in addition to the character device name, and a flag for an added console, could be added to the struct console_cmdline. And the console_cmdline array handling could be modified accordingly. But that complicates things compared saving the console options, and then adding the consoles when the subsystems handling the consoles are ready.
