When setting up the early console, the setup() callback of the regular console is used. It is called manually before registering the early console instead of providing a setup() callback for the early console. This is probably because the early setup needs a different @options during the early stage. The issue here is that the setup() callback is called without the console_list_lock held and functions such as uart_set_options() expect that. Rather than manually calling the setup() function before registering, provide an early console setup() callback that will use the different early options. This ensures that the error checking, ordering, and locking context when setting up the early console are correct. Since this early console can only be registered via the earlyprintk= parameter, the @options argument of the setup() callback will always be NULL. Rather than simply ignoring the argument, add a WARN_ON() to get our attention in case the setup() callback semantics should change in the future. Note that technically the current implementation works because it is only used in early boot. And since the early console setup is performed before registering, it cannot race with anything and thus does not need any locking. However, longterm maintenance is easier when drivers rely on the subsystem API rather than manually implementing steps that could cause breakage in the future.

README
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.
