+Subject: [PATCH] arm64: avoid needing console= to enable serial console
+
+Tell kernel to prefer one of the serial ports for console on
+platforms currently supported (pl011 or 8250). console= on
+command line will override these assumed preferences. This is
+just a hack to get the behavior we want from DT provided by
+firmware.
