[PATCH 4/8] tty/serial: add generic serial earlycon

Rob Herring robherring2 at gmail.com
Fri Mar 21 17:08:44 EDT 2014


From: Rob Herring <robh at kernel.org>

This introduces generic earlycon infrastructure for serial devices
based on the 8250 earlycon. This allows for supporting earlycon option
with other serial devices. The earlycon output is enabled at the time
early_params are processed.

Only architectures that have fixmap support or have functional ioremap
when early_params are processed are supported. This is the same
restriction that the 8250 driver had.
