[PATCH v6 06/16] printk: Prefer the console either via name or devname exclusively

[Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com>]

The commit 7640f1a44eba ("printk: Add
match_devname_and_update_preferred_console()") added the possibility
to prefer a console driver via device name. The name of the console driver
gets assigned when the device gets initialized and it tries whether
it is eligible for a console.

The above mentioned commit ensures that __add_preferred_console() is called
at least with name or devname value. But it does not check whether
both are defined which is a nonsense.

Add the check and do not fail quietly. Also shuffle the code a bit
to make it ready for adding more checks.
