I see now that Aleksey already submitted a revert and it is in tty-next, so ignore this.

It completely breaks PL011 SPCR support (a console=ttyAMA0 is required to get a console even with a valid SPCR table). Aleksey Makarov also noticed this: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/1/324 and he is working on a more generalized patch to fix the original "double printing" problem which this reverted patch was trying to fix. https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/15/223 So, let's revert the broken patch and live with the double printing until Aleksey's patch gets upstream.
