This is strange, the problematic patch should use ttynull
only as a fallback. It should not be used when a particular console
is defined on the command line.

The only explanation would be that ttyS0 gets registered too late
and ttynull is added as a fallback in the meantime.

Anyway, I propose the revert the problematic patch for 5.11-rc3,
see

This mystery is a good reason to avoid bigger changes at this stage.

Best Regards,
Petr
