The original patch makes condition always true, so it is wrong.

This reverts commit aea9a80ba98a0c9b4de88850260e9fbdcc98360b.

It seems fairly clear that the intent of the code merely warrants
s/||/&&/ - wouldn't it be more straightforward to just fix that?

No, I don't think so.  The description of the patch says that it fixes a problem
of double printing the logs with SPCR and both console=ttyAMA and earlycon are specified
on the command string.  That wrong patch does "fix" it, but introduces
a regression with the regular case.

With s/||/&&/ it would not even 'fix' the described problem.

Ah, I see, so it's that this fundamental approach itself was flawed, but
the bug causing it to match nothing happened to hide the underlying
problem. It might be useful to call that out explicitly in the commit
log. FWIW the "enabling the main console reprints earlycon contents"
problem has also been present for a while in the non-ACPI case when
relying on stdout-path for both main console and earlycon in DT, i.e.
with just "earlycon" on the command line (it seems to be OK if you
specify "earlycon=pl011,..." or explicitly add "console=ttyAMA0").

Thanks,
Robin.

Thank you
