From: Milton Miller <miltonm at bga.com>

The add_preferred_console call in rtas_console.c was not causing the
console to be selected. It turns out that the add_preferred_console
was being called after the hvc_console driver was registered. It only
works when it is called before the console driver is registered.

Reorder hvc_console.o after the hvc_console drivers to allow the selection
during console_initcall processing.
