Typically a UART driver will register the console structure in the
driver's initcall(), which is only called once per driver. This is why
it is usually not possible to have multiple UART consoles.

If a driver _does_ allow registering consoles for multiple devices, then
it must allocate separate console structs for each registration.

Note that register_console() will generate a warning and abort if a
driver attempts to register the same console struct twice:

    WARN(con == newcon, "console '%s%d' already registered\n",
         con->name, con->index)

So I ask again. Please explain how this is possible.

John
