Commit 10879ae5f12e9cab3c4e8e9504c1aaa8a033bde7 upstream.
This patch adds function pl011_console_match() that implements
method match of struct console. It allows to match consoles against
data specified in a string, for example taken from command line or
compiled by ACPI SPCR table handler.
This patch was merged to tty-next but then reverted because of
conflict with
commit 46e36683f433 ("serial: earlycon: Extend earlycon command line option to support 64-bit addresses")
Now it is fixed.

Please consider for v4.9-stable. It is the missing puzzle piece for SPCR
support on arm64 ACPI systems, which got merged for v4.9 [0]. Now that more
systems are becoming available to people working in the kernel community, it
turns out that v4.9 distro installers (e.g., Debian Stretch) won't work
unless you pass a 'console=' parameter explicitly, which is annoying.
Given that it was clearly the intent to include this code at the time,
I hope it will be considered for backporting.
[0] To quote the tty maintainer:
Also in here is the long-suffering ACPI SPCR patchset, which was
passed around from maintainer to maintainer like a hot-potato. Seems I
was the sucker^Wlucky one. All of those patches have been acked by the
various subsystem maintainers as well.
