This is a patch for a Kconfig option for the Renesas sh-sci driver, which
supports the SCI, SCIF, SCIFA, SCIFB, and HSCIF uarts found on various
Renesas SoCs.
Earlycon is used with DT only. While you are using earlycon on J2, you do
use it with a different uart (uartlite). Currently there's no upstream support
for using DT on Renesas SuperH SoCs. If this changes, the default for
SERIAL_SH_SCI_EARLYCON has to be changed.
So none of my patch applies to the current state of SuperH Linux support.
