meson_serial_console_write() is not appropriate for earlycon; it assumes the
earlycon port is the same as the driver port (it isn't).

With today's linux-next (or Greg's tty-next tree), it is no longer necessary to
declare separate earlycon's when you want both; OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE() declares
both a devicetree-enabled earlycon and automatically provides for a command line
earlycon of the same name.
