Yes, it's really annoying.
Especially right now, where all kernels >= 4.14 need ttyS0, while older onese require ttyS1 as boot console. 
It's confusing.

Yes, agreed.
With the current situation we are not better with preselecting ttyS1 on rp34x0 machines.

The RV100 port refers here to the built-in ATI Radeon 7000 graphics card which is part of Diva management card.
It's not working on rp34x0 machines.

Can you please try attached patch which disables the serial MUX and ATI card?
If it works for you and if we backport it to all kernels and if we revert palo to use ttyS0 for all machines we might be good.
