This adds to to the console= command line options allowing the
addition of a per console log level setting.
examples,
console=ttyS0,ll4
console=tty0,ll6
This can be used on systems which have multiple serial consoles, but
it's desired for logging to be light on one and heavy on another.

Use the specified serial port. The options are of
the form "bbbbpnf", where "bbbb" is the baud rate,
"p" is parity ("n", "o", or "e"), "n" is number of
bits, and "f" is flow control ("r" for RTS or
omit it). Default is "9600n8".

If the device connected to the port is not a TTY but a braille
device, prepend "brl," before the device type, for instance
