Subject: [PATCH 0/6] DT early console initialization

From: Rob Herring <robh@...nel.org>

This series adds support for early serial console initialization using 
DT. This enables determining the serial port type and address using the 
FDT and allows enabling the console before platform specific 
initialization runs. I've tested this on arm64. ARM support is dependent 
on adding fixmap support.

Currently, the earlycon is only enabled if "earlycon" is present on the 
kernel command line. The FDT needs to have /chosen/stdout-path set to 
the path of the serial port.

This series is dependent on generic earlycon[1], libfdt support[2], and 
vmlinux.lds.h clean-ups[3]. The first 2 are in linux-next already. A git 
branch is available here:
