If uboot passes a blank string to console_setup then it results in a trashed
memory.
Ultimately, the kernel crashes during freeing up the memory. This fix checks if
there
is a blank parameter being passed to console_setup from uboot.
In case it detects that the console parameter is blank then
it doesn't setup the serial device and it gracefully exits.
