Linux determines its console based on several sources:
1. the console command line parameter
2. device tree (e.g. /chosen/stdout-path)
3. various other board- and arch-specific sources
If the console parameter specifies a real console (e.g. ttyS0) then that is
used as /dev/console. However, if it does not specify a real console (e.g.
ttyDoesntExist) then *nothing* will be used as /dev/console.
Reading/writing it will return ENODEV. Additionally, no other source will
be used as a console source.
Linux commit ab4af56ae250 ("printk/console: Allow to disable console output
by using console="" or console=null") recently changed the semantics of the
parameter. Previously, specifying console="" would be treated like
specifying some other bad console. This commit changed things so that it
added /dev/ttynull as a console (if available). However, it also allows
for other console sources. If the device tree specifies a console (such as
if U-Boot and Linux share a device tree), then it will be used in addition
to /dev/ttynull. This can result in a non-silent console.
To avoid this, explicitly set ttynull as the console. This will disable
other console sources. If CONFIG_NULL_TTY is disabled, then this will have
the same behavior as in the past (no output, and writing /dev/console
returns ENODEV).
