In the conversion to generic early console, the passing of options from
the early 8250 console to the regular ttyS console was broken. This
resulted in the baud rate changing when switching consoles during boot.
This feature allows specifying a single console option on the kernel
command line rather than both an early console and regular serial tty
console. It would be nice to generalize this feature. However, it only
works if the correct baud rate can be probed early which is not the
case on many platforms which have non-standard UART clock rates. So for
now, this is left as an 8250 specific feature.

This adds the infrastructure to generic earlycon for earlycon setup
using DT. The actual setup is not enabled until a following commit to
add the FDT parsing.

Commit 9aac5887595 (tty/serial: add generic serial earlycon) moved
console option parsing from 8250_early.c and converted to kstrto*
functions from simple_strtoul along the way. However, kstrto* functions
are not equivalent in that they do not allow non-convertible characters
at the end such as "115200n8". Fix this by changing back to
simple_strtoul and ignore what checkpatch.pl says.

This introduces generic earlycon infrastructure for serial devices
based on the 8250 earlycon. This allows for supporting earlycon option
with other serial devices. The earlycon output is enabled at the time
early_params are processed.
Only architectures that have fixmap support or have functional ioremap
when early_params are processed are supported. This is the same
restriction that the 8250 driver had.
