[PATCH v2 5/7] tty/serial: add arm/arm64 semihosting earlycon

[Rob Herring]

From: Rob Herring <robh at kernel.org>

Add earlycon support for the arm/arm64 semihosting debug serial
interface. This allows enabling a debug console when early_params are
processed. This is based on the arm64 earlyprintk smh support and is
intended to replace it.
