[PATCH v2 4/7] tty/serial: pl011: add generic earlycon support

From: Rob Herring <robh at kernel.org>

Add earlycon support for the pl011 serial port. This allows enabling
the pl011 for console when early_params are processed. This is based
on the arm64 earlyprintk support and is intended to replace it.
