Thanks for your patch!

This fixes the crash I see (with "earlycon keep_bootcon") on StarLight,
and which I've just bisected to aforementioned commit, so
Tested-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas at glider.be>

You may want to include (a part of) the crash log below in your
patch description, to make it easier for affected people to find
the fix.
