I started to implement earlycon support, but something currently fails
when earlycon tries to map the UART registers:
[ 0.000000] earlycon_map: Couldn't map 0x40027000
I traced the issue a bit further down and found that get_vm_area_caller
returns NULL (in __arm_ioremap_pfn_caller). This happend on Linus master
as of today (2dbfca5a181973558277b28b1f4c36362291f5e0). Do I miss
something here?
