Commit732ea9db9d("efi: libstub: Move screen_info handling to common code") reorganized the earlycon handling so that all architectures pass the screen_info data via a EFI config table instead of populating struct screen_info directly, as the latter is only possible when the EFI stub is baked into the kernel (and not into the decompressor). However, this means that struct screen_info may not have been populated yet by the time the earlycon probe takes place, and this results in a non-functional early console. So let's probe again right after parsing the config tables and populating struct screen_info. Note that this means that earlycon output starts a bit later than before, and so it may fail to capture issues that occur while doing the early EFI initialization.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
