tty: Don't force RISCV SBI console as preferred console
The Linux kernel will auto-disables all boot consoles whenever it gets a preferred real console. Currently on RISC-V systems, if we have a real console which is not RISCV SBI console then boot consoles (such as earlycon=sbi) are not auto-disabled when a real console (ttyS0 or ttySIF0) is available. This results in duplicate prints at boot-time after kernel starts using real console (i.e. ttyS0 or ttySIF0) if "earlycon=" kernel parameter was passed by bootloader. The reason for above issue is that RISCV SBI console always adds itself as preferred console which is causing other real consoles to be not used as preferred console. Ideally "console=" kernel parameter passed by bootloaders should be the one selecting a preferred real console. This patch fixes above issue by not forcing RISCV SBI console as preferred console.
