I thought I'd respin this to address the bugs in v1. I'm still having an open conversation with Rob Herring about the OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE macro and earlycon console names. * Changes from v1 * - Rebase on top of device-tree compiler patch submission, "libfdt: Add fdt_path_offset_namelen()" - Fixed x86 build breakage, conditionally compile of_setup_earlycon(); Note: this should have already been the case since of_setup_earlycon() is dead code without CONFIG_OF_EARLY_FLATTREE - Fixed Geert's suggestion to change the printf specifier for ->mapbase - Fixed initial console index value for earlycon name without trailing numerals Hi Greg, Grant & Rob, This patch series builds on my earlier "Extensible console matching & direct earlycon" to add several useful features to earlycon: * Proper port i/o configuration from DT node with of_serial properties (such as reg-io-width, reg-shift and reg-offset) * Proper console name & index initialization from earlycon name (for both command line and DT-defined earlycons) * Support for DT 'stdout-path' options pass-through to earlycon setup * Improved log messages for troubleshooting * Support for multiple OF earlycon declarations so different compatible strings can specify the same OF earlycon Lastly, this patch series adds an omap8250 OF earlycon. I don't think the last patch requires the "Split 8250 driver" to work but it won't apply cleanly without it. Requires: 1) "libfdt: Add fdt_path_offset_namelen()" 2) the last patch which adds omap8250 earlycon requires some kind of fixmap support, such as "ARM: early fixmap support for earlycon", which has not yet been accepted upstream.
