No it doesn't.

For OF, /chosen/stdout-path specifies the "full-featured console".
Adding "earlycon" to the command line starts an earlycon on the same
console, without firmware changes.

For PCDP, the firmware-specified console starts an earlycon and
registers a full-featured console for the same device.

Same for MIPS Malta.

In fact, there's not a single in-tree example of firmware that
uses one table/setting for earlycon and a different table/setting for
full-featured console.

No offense, but 2 emails ago you were sure it was as trivial
as a macro invocation, until I pointed out that wouldn't work.

Actually Chris already pointed out kgdb needs to run from DBG2.
I understand you don't want to implement that. However, it is a design
decision that has already been forecasted.

So no one's asking you to either forecast or implement it, only to
account for it in the design.

I think console + optional earlycon over the SPCR-specified device
and kgdb over the DBG2-specified device makes more sense,
but I'm also willing to accept a more flexible configuration of
options.

For example,
1: SPCR: console
2: SPCR + earlycon command line: console + earlycon
3: SPCR: console, DBG2 + earlycon command line: earlycon
4: SPCR: console, DBG2 + kgdb command line: console + kgdboc
5: DBG2 + kgdb command line: console + kgdb
6: DBG2 + earlycon + kgdb command line: earlycon + console + kgdboc

etc..

A plausible outline for what is required for implementation on top
of what you have submitted would be sufficient; an assertion that
"it will not be hard" is not.

Right. I'm the one that told you that.


> If SPCR runs earlycon we can not run kgdb over it.

??

Right now I can run an earlycon, a console and kgdb on that console
all on the same device with OF.

Why is this a problem for ACPI?

If SPCR defines the console to start and the user also opts for earlycon
on the same device, kgdb will still be able to later start on the console.

As I explained, when a real console starts, the earlycon is disabled.
