Hi Xiang,

While there should be some DT validation somewhere that points out bad
parameters, I don't think opensbi is the best place to do it, especially
for UART configuration. While we certainly can't progress in all cases
we detect bad input, in the case of a zero baudrate I believe we can, as
it appears setting baudrate registers is typically optional for UARTs.

We could also consider adding a log buffer which early init can write
errors and warnings to. After the console has been initialized (with
our best effort) we can then output all the errors and warnings from the
log buffer. If we had something like that, then we could add a warning
about the baudrate to that log along with warnings/errors for any other
DT parameters we fail to validate but attempt to work around.

Thanks,
drew
