drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_early.c:early_serial8250_setup
still have calling to probe_baud, but it is not triggered.

Here is root cause.
The gap between entries in earlycon_table cause
iteration fail to find next entry, so uart8250 handler is
not called proplerly.

attached patch fix the problem.

Thanks

Yinghai
