I think that it did not print the 2nd "printk: before
down_console_sem()" because there was missing newline "\n".

printk() keeps such a line open because pr_cont() might append
to it. The message will get printed to the console only when
pr_cont("bla bla \n") is called or when another non-continuous
printk() is called.

The difference might be that earlycon uses the serial port.
While the normal console is terminal "tty0".

Does it help to configure also the normal serial console.
I mean booting with something like:

earlycon console=uart,mmio32,0x00000000ff1a0000,1500000n8 console=tty0

I am not completely sure about the console=uart parameter. It is a
shame but I have never used it. I took the format from
Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt and the values
from your boot log:

[    0.000000] earlycon: uart0 at MMIO32 0x00000000ff1a0000 (options '1500000n8')

Unfortunately, it did not print anything :-(
