The above assumes that the sbsa32 maintains the equivalence of
earlycon and console; ie., that

/ {
	chosen {
		stdout-path = &uart0;
	};

	soc {
		uart0: serial@xxxxxx {
			compatible = "arm,sbsa-uart";
		};
	};
};


will start a sbsa32 earlycon and later replace that with
sbsa console.

I never really understood the device tree support for SBSA. The "S" stands for Server, and ARM Server systems are supposed to use ACPI. It's easy to add special cases via device tree, because of its flexibility. ACPI is much more difficult, and that's why I used the command-line approach.

Anyway, I found this alternate patch from Lief Lindholm that implements this idea better, although it needs work:
