Raul E Rangel 17b655759e init: Don't proxy console= to earlycon
Today we are proxying the `console=` command line args to the
`param_setup_earlycon()` handler. This is done because the following are
equivalent:

    console=uart[8250],mmio,<addr>[,options]
    earlycon=uart[8250],mmio,<addr>[,options]

Both invocations enable an early `bootconsole`. `console=uartXXXX` is
just an alias for `earlycon=uartXXXX`.

In addition, when `earlycon=` (empty value) or just `earlycon`
(no value) is specified on the command line, we enable the earlycon
`bootconsole` specified by the SPCR table or the DT.

The problem arises when `console=` (empty value) is specified on the
command line. It's intention is to disable the `console`, but what
happens instead is that the SPRC/DT console gets enabled.

This happens because we are proxying the `console=` (empty value)
parameter to the `earlycon` handler. The `earlycon` handler then sees
that the parameter value is empty, so it enables the SPCR/DT
`bootconsole`.

This change makes it so that the `console` or `console=` parameters no
longer enable the SPCR/DT `bootconsole`. I also cleans up the hack in
`main.c` that would forward the `console` parameter to the `earlycon`
handler.
