Hi Shawn, Russell,

I noticed this change is in linux-next and but I happen to hit an issue
with this as I tested it with earlycon enabled today for the first time.

The above hunk won't work for early console devices. The earlycon_device
just has uart_port and is not uart_amba_port. I don't know how to fix
this properly but I thought we could reuse private_data in uart_port for
early_con devices. Something like below(incomplete for other vendors,
works only for ARM)

Regards,
Sudeep
