Subject: [PATCH v4 0/3] printk/console: Fix preferred console handling

Hi,

I send this on behalf of Benjamin who is traveling at the moment.
It is an interesting approach to long terms problems with matching
the console preferred on the command line.

Changes against v3:

	+ better check when accepting pre-enabled consoles
	+ correct reasoning in the 3rd patch
	+ update a comment of CON_CONSDEV definition
	+ fixed checkpatch warnings

Best Regards,
Petr

Benjamin Herrenschmidt (3):
  printk: Move console matching logic into a separate function
  printk: Fix preferred console selection with multiple matches
  printk: Correctly set CON_CONSDEV even when preferred console was not
    registered
