    Revert "tty: serial: 8250: add CON_CONSDEV to flags" · 1f363639

    This commit needs to be reverted because it prevents people from
    using the serial console as a secondary console with input being
    directed to tty0.
    
    IOW, if you boot with console=ttyS0 console=tty0 then all kernels
    prior to this commit will produce output on both ttyS0 and tty0
    but input will only be taken from tty0.  With this patch the serial
    console will always be the primary console instead of tty0,
    potentially preventing people from getting into their machines in
    emergency situations.
