    env: ti: boot: Use ttyS2 instead of ttyO2 · adc097e1

    ttyO2 console enables legacy CONFIG_SERIAL_OMAP driver in kernel.
    Nowadays it's preferred to use the generic CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_OMAP
    driver, which being enabled via ttyS2 console. Both drivers are enabled
    in multi_v7_defconfig and in omap2plus_defconfig, for compatibility
    reasons. Let's switch to ttyS2 console, to be sure that standard 8250
    serial driver is used.
    
    Similar behavior can be also achieved by enabling
    CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_OMAP_TTYO_FIXUP option in kernel, but it's better not
    to rely on that, as it can be disabled or removed after transitional
    period.
    
    Right now on DRA7/AM57x platforms the 8250-omap driver is being probed
    first, and omap-serial driver is only probed if the first one failed.
    It can be seen from uart3 definition in arch/arm/boot/dts/dra7-l4.dtsi:
    
        compatible = "ti,dra742-uart", "ti,omap4-uart";
    
    So the kernel already uses 8250 driver. This change basically allows
    kernel developers to throw away the omap-serial driver and associated
    compatibility options. Similar discussions [1,2] have started several
    years ago, so it should be safe to do that now.
