It sounds really bad to have 2 drivers operating on the same
devices. If you have uart(4) for console and keyboard, you should
probably remove ofw_console.

Your patch looks like a big kluge. Mostly because you're delaying
cninit() and hardcode a dependency on ofw_console. That sure breaks
my box and I'm not going to add ofw_console simply because I
already have a console (using uart(4)).
