MACH_REALTEK_RTL declares that the system supports early printk , but this is not actually implemented as intended. The system is left with a non-functional early0 console because the setup_8250_early_printk_port() call provided for MIPS_GENERIC is never used to set this up. Generic ns16550a earlycon works, so devices should use that for early output. This means that SYS_HAS_EARLY_PRINTK and USE_GENERIC_EARLY_PRINTK_8250 do not need to be selected. Additionally, as reported by Lukas Bulwahn, the selected symbol SYS_HAS_EARLY_PRINTK_8250 does not actually exist, so should also be dropped.
