This reverts commit 6a4197f9763325043abf7690a21124a9facbf52e.
New SoC will use ttyS0 instead of ttyAML, so T7 SoC doesn't need a OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE.

How do you use earlycon with this removed ?

This is my kernel cmdline:
console=ttyS0,921600 no_console_suspend earlycon=ttyS0,0xfe078000
And I can see my log:

As the log is OK, and T7 for now is binding against S4 code we should drop this patch and add a S4 one if needed.
But just having this log is not enough for testing earlycon?
I am assuming that by just having the log since 0.0000 is a good sign that earlycon is working.
Could you give further guidance?
First the kernel argument is simply "earlycon" with no other options,
the earlycon code will fetch the first uart using the DT /chosen/stdout-path property.
Then you should see something like right after "Machine model":
[ 0.000000] earlycon: meson0 at MMIO 0x00000000ff803000 (options '115200n8')
The boot log you share doesn't use earlycon, it waits until all depedency of the UART
has been probed before probing the UART driver and prints the whole boot log.
Earlycon is a mechanism to use the UART HW as configured by the bootloader in
a minimal way very early in the boot in order to detect very early lockups.
Keeping OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE for t7 would enable this.
