[LinuxBIOS] Build issue for khepri target

[Stefan Reinauer]

what does "platform get console" tell you? 

It should say something like:
$ platform get console
Rear Panel Enabled Speed Pruning Log Trigger
SP Console Yes     19200 No      244 KB
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You need to configure the
console on the SP with the "platform set console" command.

platform set console {--serial|-s} sp [{{--enable|-e}|{--disable|-d}}] [{{--prune|-p}|{--noprune|-n}}]
         [{--speed|-S} {1200|2400|4800|9600|19200|38400|57600|115200}] [{--log|-l} size] [{-h|--help}]
 or
platform set console {--serial|-s} platform [{-h|--help}]
{-S|--speed} {1200|2400|4800|9600|19200|38400|57600|115200}
                    Select the port speed for the platform console.
                    BIOS, the platform OS and the console must
                    all be configured for the same speed
                    Cannot be used with: -s=platform

{-d|--disable}      Indicate that the platform console monitor is
                    inactive
                    Cannot be used with: -e -s=platform

{-e|--enable}       Indicate that the platform console monitor is active
                    Cannot be used with: -d -s=platform

{-p|--prune}        Indicate that the platform console log is to be
                    cleaned of ANSI sequences and pruned of
                    duplicated information
                    Cannot be used with: -n -s=platform

{-s|--serial} {sp|platform}
                    Specify whether the serial port is connected to the
                    platform COMA port, or the SP serial console
                    Cannot be used with: -e [platform] -d [platform] -p
                    [platform] -n [platform] -S [platform] -l [platform]
