Hi all, This is a attempt to bring all low-level debugging print functions together and provide a arm-like low-level debugging interface and a further capability to debug early exceptions. This patch elimiate platform specific early_printk, zboot printing functions and cps-vec-ns16550 by newly introduced debug_ll. Hope you'll find them handy :-) Happy hacking!
