Hi Greg and experts
Is this version ok for you? thanks

It has been less than 5 days. Please relax, and only worry after 2
weeks have gone by. We have lots of patches to review. To help
maintainers out, why don't you review other patches on the mailing lists
as well while you wait?
thanks,

You effectively make the console unusable until someone calls
hvc_alloc() for this device, correct? This doesn't look right. Neither
you describe this change of behaviour in the commit log.

I mentioned such info in the commit log:
'Introduce another array(cons_hvcs[]) for hvc pointers next to the
cons_ops[] and vtermnos[] arrays. With the array, we can easily find
hvc's cons_outbuf and its lock.'
After you pointed it out, I just found what you said make sense, I checked the code hvc_console_print() can support print before hvc_alloc() is called when someone use hvc_instantiate() for an early console discovery method.
I send a patch to fix the issue? or these serial pathches reverted fisrtly then I resend new version patches? thanks

I have now reverted patches 2/3 and 3/3 in this series from my tree.
The first patch was just fine.
