Indeed, I missed that. Here is the final (?) version of the patch,
the only change is in the documentation.

As an aside, I would personally be in favor of removing the `earlycon'
kernel parameter entirely, it seems to be a strict subset of the
`console' parameter and anyone that wants `earlycon' probably wants
`console' anyway. Is there a strong argument for keeping that
parameter that I'm missing?
