I'm still not convincing by this code to be in that form and here. What
about to refactor setup_early_printk() to helper which will do parse
parameters to a let say structure where one of the flag will be
struct early_printk_param {
…
const char *arg;
bool serial;
}
Your function will be something like this
struct early_printk_param epp;
parse_early_printk_param(&epp);
if (!epp->serial)
return /* whatever error code */;
return setup_early_printk(epp.arg);
