Subject[PATCH] console: prevent registered consoles from dumping old kernel message over again
Date
For a platform with many consoles like:
"console=tty1 console=ttyMFD2 console=ttyS0 earlyprintk=mrst"

Each time when the non "selected_console" (tty1 and ttyMFD2 here) get
registered, the existing kernel message will be printed out on registered
consoles again, the "mrst" early console will get some same message for
3 times, and "tty1" will get some for twice.

So try to temporarily disable registered console's printing when dump the
existing kernel messages to the new console.
