try latest tip/master plus an USB debug key, then enable 
CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK_DBGP=y in your .config on the host, add the 
earlyprintk=dbgp,keep boot parameter and reboot [and disable USB for 
good measure]. On the other host you connect to via an USB cable, enable 
USB_SERIAL_DEBUG=y and use /dev/ttyUSB0 with the serial terminal app of 
your choice.

that, as long as the USB ports are operational, gives a working serial 
console on just about any laptop.
