The original code tried to find a console that has CON_BOOT _or_
CON_ENABLED flag set. The flag CON_ENABLED is set to all registered
consoles, so in this case this check is always true, even for the
CON_BOOT consoles.
The initial intent of the kgdboc_earlycon_init was to get a console
early (CON_BOOT) or later on in the process (CON_ENABLED). The
code was using for_each_console macro, meaning that all console structs
were previously registered on the printk() machinery. At this point,
any console found on for_each_console is safe for kgdboc_earlycon_init
to use.
Dropping the check makes the code cleaner, and avoids further confusion
by future readers of the code.
