Marc,
There had a patch from Peter that revert early console part, which I
thought will be merged to mainline. It's my fault for not fix the bug
on time. Also sorry for late response to you as I took three days
leave.
Could you help test attached patch? Thank you in advance!
Greg,
Would you please hold the merging of revert patches for one or two
days so that the fix can be verified? Thank you!

Subject: [PATCH] serial: pl011: Fix earlycon register LUT breakage
Commit 7b753f318d14 ("uart: pl011: Introduce register accessor")
mistakenly used the register LUT i/o accessors for the pl011
earlycon. Since the port has not been probed at earlycon time,
the struct uart_amba_port (and register LUTs) are uninitialized.
Use direct register addressing for pl011 earlycon; other h/w supported
by the amba-pl011 driver should declare an alternate earlycon.
