Hi Jussi and bruce

Yocto Bug#10456: X can not launch on qemumips64

I find the kernel 4.4 is ok, and on the latest 4.9 is ok, but on kernel 
4.8 is failed.

This is because this commit in linux-yocto-4.8:

     tty: serial: 8250: add CON_CONSDEV to flags

     When using the 8250 as a boot console and the main console results in
     messages being printed twice.  The console framework will only
     unregister boot consoles if a new console is registered with the
     CON_CONSDEV flag set.

     Set this flag for the univ8250 console to prevent double-registration.

The 4.9 has been reverted it, so backport that reverted patch can fix 
this bug, but I don't know why this related to qemumips64?

Thanks
