printk: Save console options for add_preferred_console_match()
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.
