Is 'setup_fn' ok?

Actually it was Mark Salter who asked to introduce such macros.

I think reusing the OF functions is a good decision.

Your "but without any of the real underpinning or flexibility" is unfounded.

- Note that this decision forces setting earlycon on GDB2 debug port.
  DBG2 does not specify that it should be exactly earlycon.

- You missed ACPI_DBG2_ARM_DCC.  And actually I think the list of 
  debug ports is open. You will have to make up names like "uart" "pl011"
  each time a new port is introduced into the specs.

- Most important thing, this way you disclose the internals of serial ports
  to the generic earlycon.c  Such info as access mode should stay 
  in the respective drivers.

- I would not like printing address and then parsing it back.

To support earlycon on other types of debug port just add literally one
string of code (as in pl011).
