From 6741f551a0b26479de2532ffa43a366747e6dbf3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Herbert Xu Date: Sun, 11 Dec 2016 10:05:49 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "tty: serial: 8250: add CON_CONSDEV to flags" This commit needs to be reverted because it prevents people from using the serial console as a secondary console with input being directed to tty0. IOW, if you boot with console=ttyS0 console=tty0 then all kernels prior to this commit will produce output on both ttyS0 and tty0 but input will only be taken from tty0. With this patch the serial console will always be the primary console instead of tty0, potentially preventing people from getting into their machines in emergency situations.
