From 48021f98130880dd74286459a1ef48b5e9bc374f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shreyas Joshi Date: Fri, 22 May 2020 16:53:06 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] printk: handle blank console arguments passed in. If uboot passes a blank string to console_setup then it results in a trashed memory. Ultimately, the kernel crashes during freeing up the memory. This fix checks if there is a blank parameter being passed to console_setup from uboot. In case it detects that the console parameter is blank then it doesn't setup the serial device and it gracefully exits.
