Subject: [PATCH] tty: hvc: riscv_sbi: instantiate the legcay console earlier
The hvc_instantiate() is an early console discovery mechanism, it is
usually called before allocating hvc terminal devices. In fact, if
we check hvc_riscv_sbi's hvc_instantiate() return value, we'll find
that it's -1. So the calling hvc_instantiate() is too late.
We can remove the hvc_instantiate() to only rely on the hvc_alloc() to
register the kernel console. We can also move its calling earlier so
the kernel console is registered earlier, so that we can get kernel
console msg earlier. We take the 2nd choice in this patch.
Before the patch:
[ 0.367440] printk: legacy console [hvc0] enabled
[ 0.401397] Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 4 ports, IRQ sharing disabled
After the patch:
[ 0.004665] printk: legacy console [hvc0] enabled
[ 0.050183] Calibrating delay loop (skipped), value calculated using timer frequency.. 20.00 BogoMIPS (lpj=100000)
As can be seen, now the kernel console is registered much earlier before
the BogoMIPS calibrating.
