* @options: ptr to option string from console command line
*
* Only attempts to match console command lines of the form:
- * console=uart<>,io|mmio|mmio32,<addr>,<options>
- * console=uart<>,<addr>,options
+ * console=uart[8250],io|mmio|mmio32,<addr>[,<options>]
+ * console=uart[8250],0x<addr>[,<options>]
* This form is used to register an initial earlycon boot console and
* replace it with the serial8250_console at 8250 driver init.
*
* Performs console setup for a match (as required by interface)
+ * If no <options> are specified, then assume the h/w is already setup.
*
* Returns 0 if console matches; otherwise non-zero to use default matching
