+ This option replaces the "console=ttyO" argument with the matching
+ ttyS argument if the user did not specified it on the command line.
+ This ensures that the user can see the kernel output during boot
+ which he wouldn't see otherwise. The getty has still to be configured
+ for ttyS instead of ttyO regardless of this option.
+ This option is intended for people who "automatically" enable this
+ driver without knowing that this driver requires a different console=
+ argument. If you read this, please keep this option disabled and
+ instead update your kernel command line. If you prepare a kernel for a
+ distribution or other kind of larger user base then you probably want
+ to keep this option enabled. Otherwise people might complain about a
+ not booting kernel because the serial console remains silent in case
+ they forgot to update the command line.
