SubjectRe: [PATCH v11 2/4] ACPI: parse SPCR and enable matching console
I'm afraid Aleksey is no longer assigned to Linaro (you will probably
have seen a bounce).

I guess we could just ignore the table completely
if (console_set_on_cmdline)
like its counterpart in of_console_check().

Like so (not tested beyond compile testing):

diff --git a/drivers/acpi/spcr.c b/drivers/acpi/spcr.c
index 324b35bfe781..c3cf0f1ebb8f 100644
--- a/drivers/acpi/spcr.c
+++ b/drivers/acpi/spcr.c
@@ -96,6 +96,9 @@ int __init parse_spcr(bool earlycon)
int baud_rate;
int err;

+ if (console_set_on_cmdline)
+ return 0;
+
if (acpi_disabled)
return -ENODEV;

Are you asking because you want to use a different console in a lab
setup or because there are issues with SPCR on your platform?
