These seem to the only uses:

So blackfin, m68k, and mips seems to have it possible to enable,
but also don't appear at first glance to use it,

Hint: CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK covers far more than early_printk()

I know this.

Note also I didn't specify CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK,
just early_printk.

Is early_printk really used by these architectures?
Should it be removed?

Sure, if you have a good reason to remove working functionality.

Unused.

What exactly are you proposing to remove?  I see no unused code related
to early printk (in any variant) under arch/mips.
