[oe] [PATCH] sysvinit_2.86.bb: add possibility to use USB Serial Console with only rx/tx.

[Scott Anderson]

Hi,

I apologize for coming into this late, but could you give a quick explanation of why a
new variable is needed?  In other words, what is wrong with something like:
SERIAL_CONSOLE="-L /dev/ttyUSB0 115200"
