Remove the hack to assign the global console_port variable at probe time. This assumption that cons->index is -1 is wrong for systems that specify 'console=' in the cmdline (or 'stdout-path' in dts). Hence, on such system the actual console assignment is ignored, and the first UART that happens to be probed is used as console instead. Move the logic to console_setup() and map the console to the correct port through the array of available ports instead.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
