Cool to see others found this useful. I had originally written this for the demo
at https://barebox.org/jsbarebox/ :-)

Back then I had trouble getting more than one console to work, whether through
multiport consoles or via having one virtio device per console. The original
barebox source code has a comment about what I tried. Did you manage to resolve
this limitation?

If not, you should add some check into your patch to prevent registering more than
one console with the driver.

Cheers,
Ahmad
