Subject: [PATCH] serial-uartlite: add earlycon support

From: Rich Felker <dalias@...c.org>

Microblaze currently uses the old earlyprintk system, rather than the
unified earlycon support, to show boot messages on uartlite. Add
earlycon support so that other archs using uartlite can benefit from
it. The new code in uartlite.c is copied almost verbatim from
arch/microblaze/kernel/early_printk.c.

Signed-off-by: Rich Felker <dalias@...c.org>

Possibly also copy over copyright lines from
arch/microblaze/kernel/early_printk.c? I'm not sure whether they're
relevant so I Cc'd the authors. The bulk of the code in that file is
ugly setup for earlyprintk that's not needed for earlycon.

Switching Microblaze to earlycon, if desired, is left as a separate
task since I'm not working on that arch.
