Without the overlay I get boot messages on HDMI, but no login, last messages
are from USB keyboard/mouse and I can get more messages removing/adding
keyboard/mouse...., no messages on serial console (but 'ttyS0: 29 input overrun(s)
message on HDMI output)

From linux-3de232825c9ba5989522b8691eb6ac5df6619458/arch/arm/boot/dts/overlays/pi3-disable-bt-overlay.dts:

  Disable Bluetooth and restore UART0/ttyAMA0 over GPIOs 14 & 15.

So I think the overlay changes the pin muxing (and the orignal config seems to break
the console, maybe flow control deadlock with the bluetooth chip?)...

This was with old kernel/firmware but adding 'core_freq=250' to config.txt
fixed it...

Regads,
