Subject: [PATCH 0/8] ACPI: parse the DBG2 table

ARM Server Base Boot Requiremets' [1] mentions DBG2 (Microsoft Debug
Port Table 2) [2] as a mandatory ACPI table that specifies debug ports.

- Move acpi/dt decision earlier in boot process on ARM64
- Move earlycon early_param handling to serial to parse earlycon option once
- Add definition of DBG2 subtypes.  It's the same patch as in the SPCR series [3]
- Refactor ACPI linker tables code to enable iterating over subtables other than
  subtables having acpi_subtype header (such as DBG2)
- Implement macros

	ACPI_DBG2_DECLARE(name, type, subtype, setup_fn, data_ptr)

  that defines a handler for the port of the given type and subtype.
- For each port defined by that macros that is also described in the ACPI DBG2
  table call provided callback.
- Implement a helper macros that can be used to define early serial console
- Enable DBG2 on ARM64
- Define early console for pl011 serial

Aleksey Makarov (6):
  ACPI: add definitions of DBG2 subtypes
  ACPI: genaralize iterating over subtables in ACPI_PROBE_TABLE()
  ACPI: parse DBG2 table
  ACPI: serial: implement earlycon on ACPI DBG2 port
  ACPI: enable ACPI_DBG2_TABLE on ARM64
  serial: pl011: add ACPI DBG2 serial port

Leif Lindholm (2):
  arm64: move acpi/dt decision earlier in boot process
  of/serial: move earlycon early_param handling to serial
