How about a command-line option for earlycon?  We do this on our kernel 
for now:

earlycon=pl011,0x3blabla,sbsa32

And then in pl011_early_console_setup(), device->con->write is set to 
either pl011_early_write or to pl011_early_write_sbsa32, which looks 
like this:

static void pl011_putc_sbsa32(struct uart_port *port, int c)
{
         while (readl(port->membase + UART01x_FR) & UART01x_FR_TXFF)
                 cpu_relax();
         writel(c, port->membase + UART01x_DR);
         while (!(readl(port->membase + UART01x_FR) & UART011_FR_TXFE))
                 cpu_relax();
}


static void pl011_early_write_sbsa32(struct console *con, const char *s, 
unsigned n)
{
         struct earlycon_device *dev = con->data;

         uart_console_write(&dev->port, s, n, pl011_putc_sbsa32);
}

I would have added this to my patch, but I specifically didn't want to 
add any new functionality.

Sorry, I could have sworn I deleted that.  Should I bother posting a 
version 2, since your patch is better?
