These days, you only need earlyprintk for *really* early console like
in the assembly boot entry code and before the DT is unflattened. For
anything else, use earlycon instead because earlycon is a runtime
option.

Then add this option when you are doing debug. But for what's
"shipped" in mainline, you should not have this enabled.
