[PATCH 3/8] printk: Separate code for adding/updating preferred console metadata
Posted by Petr Mladek 16 hours ago
The logic for adding or updating a preferred console is currently
duplicated within __add_preferred_console(), making the code difficult
to follow and prone to consistency issues.

Introduce update_preferred_console() to centralize the initialization
and updating of struct preferred_console entries. This refactoring
explicitly defines and enforces the following rules:

1. Console names and/or indexes are not set when a console is preferred
   via devname; these are resolved later during device matching.
2. Console names are only added alongside a valid index.
3. Only matching entries are updated.
4. Console and Braille options are never cleared. They are updated
   only via the command line.
5. The global 'preferred_dev_console' index and 'console_set_on_cmdline'
   flag are updated consistently.

Additionally, rename braille_set_options() to braille_update_options()
to better reflect its conditional behavior.

While this is primarily a refactoring, it fixes two minor behavioral
consistencies: console options can now be overridden via the command
line, and Braille options are preserved even if a non-Braille console
with the same name was previously defined.
