From: Rob Herring <robh at kernel.org>
This series adds support for early serial console initialization using
DT. This enables determining the serial port type and address using the
FDT and allows enabling the console before platform specific
initialization runs. I've tested this on arm64. ARM support is dependent
on adding fixmap support.
Currently, the earlycon is only enabled if "earlycon" is present on the
kernel command line. The FDT needs to have /chosen/stdout-path set to
the path of the serial port.
This series is dependent on generic earlycon[1], libfdt support[2], and
vmlinux.lds.h clean-ups[3]. The first 2 are in linux-next already. A git
branch is available here:
