The patch titled serial: convert early_uart to earlycon for 8250 fix 3 alias has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was serial-convert-early_uart-to-earlycon-for-8250-fix-3-alias.patch This patch was dropped because it was folded into serial-convert-early_uart-to-earlycon-for-8250.patch ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: serial: convert early_uart to earlycon for 8250 fix 3 alias From: Yinghai Lu <Yinghai.Lu@xxxxxxx> make the console=uart,io,0x3f8,9600n8 like console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600 suggested by Andy Whitcroft.
