Most litex boards using RISC-V soft cores us the sbi earlycon, however
this is not available for non RISC-V litex SoC.  This patch enables
earlycon for liteuart which is available on all Litex SoC's making
support for earycon debugging more widely available.

Hi,

am I missing something or this doesn't differ to liteuart_putchar?

Hi, No you are right, I missed that thanks for catching it.

I should be able to remove this function and use putchar below.

OK.

I've just noticed you add an ifdef CONFIG_SERIAL_EARLYCON here, but you select SERIAL_EARLYCON in Kconfig above. So the ifdef is sort of pointless? (Or you shouldn't select SERIAL_EARLYCON.)

thanks,
