aspeed: Introduce a "bmc-console" machine option
Most of the Aspeed machines use the UART5 device for the boot console, and QEMU connects the first serial Chardev to this SoC device for this purpose. See routine connect_serial_hds_to_uarts(). Nevertheless, some machines use another boot console, such as the fuji, and commit 5d63d0c ("hw/arm/aspeed: Allow machine to set UART default") introduced a SoC class attribute 'uart_default' and property to be able to change the boot console device. It was later changed by commit d2b3eae ("aspeed: Refactor UART init for multi-SoC machines"). The "bmc-console" machine option goes a step further and lets the user define the UART device from the QEMU command line without introducing a new machine definition. For instance, to use device UART3 (mapped on /dev/ttyS2 under Linux) instead of the default UART5, one would use : -M ast2500-evb,bmc-console=uart3 Cc: Abhishek Singh Dagur <abhishek@drut.io> Signed-off-by: Cédric Le Goater <clg@kaod.org> Reviewed-by: Joel Stanley <joel@jms.id.au> Signed-off-by: Cédric Le Goater <clg@kaod.org>
