From 0d3c673e7881e691991b2a4745bd4f149603baa2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rob Herring Date: Fri, 18 Apr 2014 17:19:57 -0500 Subject: tty/serial: pl011: add generic earlycon support Add earlycon support for the pl011 serial port. This allows enabling the pl011 for console when early_params are processed. This is based on the arm64 earlyprintk support and is intended to replace it.
