We should add a comment explaining the less obvious behavior as
discussed in the thread. Something like:

> +static void set_user_specified(struct console_cmdline *c, bool user_specified)
> +{
> + if (!user_specified)
> + return;

/*
* @c console was defined by the user on the command line.
* Do not clear when added twice also by SPCR or the device tree.
*/
> + c->user_specified = true;
/* At least one console defined by the user on the command line. */
> + console_set_on_cmdline = 1;
> +}
> +
> static int __add_preferred_console(char *name, int idx, char *options,
> char *brl_options, bool user_specified)
> {

With the above comments:
